So the thing actually works!?
That's amazing. Definitely going to build this now. I was looking for a lazer pointer yesterday but couldn't find one. Where did you acquire the plexiglass for the platforms? I'm not too sue on where to pick those up.
Ya I was wondering if the thing would work too while building it. If you're worried that it'll be a waste of time, you could pick up the lazer pointer and extract the magnification lens to test it out. The rest of the supplies for the microscope were found at home depot. The plexiglass was the bulk of the costs being $4.98 for an 8" x 10" sheet. Go for the thicker sheet to accommodate the weight of the phone as well as the thickness of the lens. Thanks for the video, I'm sure this microscope will come in handy for current and future biology classes 
Edit: May wanna go for the finer closer threaded bolts for fine adjustment, because the focus range appears to be within < 0.5mm

It works guys.
I bought the lazer pointer tonight, got the lens out, and haggardly fastened it right over my phones camera. I might try to make a mobile version. I'm thinking if I buy a case for my phone and snap it on, there's a little hole in the case for the camera. I think the focus lens could fit right in there somehow so you could use it on the go, you'd just have to be super steady.
What an amazing contraption for less than 10 dollars

It drives me fucking crazy when people say lazer. Laser is an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation"
Get it right, shitheads.

I kind of modified the design and put the focus lens into a structure that I can snap onto my phone, so the focus lens is positioned directly over my camera lens.
Now I have a portable version that I can take anywhere and use on the go. It works very well, except you need the right lighting. It's hard to see the subjects when there isn't a light coming from underneath to illuminate it.
