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.
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,

1:29And 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?
