Abstract
Abstract The ambition to produce a functional miniature microscope suitable for tropical disease diagnostics in developing countries has exercised the ingenuity of many talented designers over the last 75 years. In the early 1930's the late Dr John McArthur produced the first prototype of his pioneering folded optic design and this portable gem measured a mere 102 x 63 x 51 mm, yet was able to deliver everything which would be expected from a conventional bench microscope of similar optical specification (see Fig. 1A). To achieve this high degree of miniaturization McArthur employed a folded optical prismatic system: light entered from above the microscope via a mirror and then passed through a small condenser to the specimen, a revolutionary concept at that time. The objectives were arranged below the specimen and the image was reflected by two prisms to the eyepiece.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
