0:00- Watch what happens when I put a drop
0:02of water on my phone camera.
0:04Thanks to Google for sponsoring this video.
0:06Well, the droplet forms a tiny dome,
0:09and when light hits this dome,
0:10it gets bent and focused, just like a lens.
0:14I'm putting a drop of water on the front-facing camera.
0:17The macro lens on this Pixel phone is already great.
0:20But with the drop, we've now got one lens on top of another.
0:24So we've turned our phone into a microscope.
0:27The droplet magnifies the image,
0:30and then the phone's lens zooms in on that image.
0:33It already works great lying flat,
0:35but the real magic happens when you flip the phone over.
0:39I hope this is gonna work.
0:41I have to get this water drop
0:42right under the ultrawide lens.
0:44The drop sticks to the glass thanks to adhesion,
0:47and with gravity pulling it downward,
0:49the drop becomes more spherical,
0:50resulting in a more convex lens,
0:53and that increases the magnification even more.
0:56And you can use this to see some really cool things.
0:59Whoa!
1:01Do you see that?
1:03This is a $20 bill,
1:05and you can see all the tiny security details.
1:09And this is a tiny dead fly.
1:12I'm honestly pretty impressed
1:13with how much detail you can see.
1:15Look how complex its wings are.
1:17What I love is that you can capture
1:19this miniature world in 4K
1:20with just a phone and a drop of water.
1:22If you wanna try it yourself,
1:24you can shop the Pixel 10 Pro right here on YouTube,
1:26just click the shopping shelf below this video.
1:29And the first 200 people to use code Veritasium
1:31at checkout on the Google Store
1:33get $150 off the new Pixel lineup.
1:37Is that like a little hair on my fingers?
1:40Am I Spider-Man?
