Pakistan is a country where approximately 80% of the population consumes contaminated drinking water, resulting in a variety of chronic diseases.
Recognizing the importance of the problem, students at Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET) have invested in a portable microscope to detect germs in the water.
Hamza Bhutto and Muhamamd Namdaar Zahid revealed they invented a miniature telescope using 3D printing while speaking on the ARY News show Bakhabar Savera.
The microscope is approximately the same size as a hand palm and may easily be carried around in a pocket.
Compound microscopes are typically difficult to use in laboratories, which is why they designed the portable microscope, which is smaller in size and easier to use.
According to the MUET students, they are attempting to create data sets that will allow them to identify the number of bacteria in the water by segmenting it into green, yellow, and red zones.
