A microscope that cost less than £50 and took under 3 hours to build using a common 3D printer could be transformative for ...

For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes to analyse samples and detect diseases , thanks to an open-source design created at the University of Bath. The ...

The University of Bath has designed an open-source medical-grade microscope that can be made for as little as £15 in its most basic form Called OpenFlexure microscope, “it is unique among 3D-printed ...

In context: 3D printing is slowly becoming mainstream, having moved beyond functional prototyping, rapid tooling, trinkets, and toys. We have already seen people use 3D printers to create fashion ...

When one thinks about microscopy, it seems to be mostly qualitative. Looking at a slide teeming with bacteria or protozoans is less about making measurements and more about recognizing features and ...
