3D-print your own working microscope in less than 3 hours.
The article discusses the creation of the world's first fully 3D-printed microscope, which can be made in a few hours at a fraction of the cost of traditional microscopes. Researchers at the University of Strathclyde in the UK utilized 3D-printed lenses, a design from OpenFlexure, a Raspberry Pi com...

Researchers at the University of Strathclyde in the UK utilized 3D-printed lenses, a design from OpenFlexure, a Raspberry Pi computer processor, and a store-bought camera and light source to create the microscope. The cost of this microscope is less than £50, making it an affordable and accessible option for scientific research and diagnosis. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Unknown language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
