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 ...

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 ...

You can download the recipe for the OpenFlexure microscope from GitHub, feed it into a 3D printer and, combined with a little camera and computer, you have a way to ...

Since the invention of 3D printers, people have come up with ingenious ways to use them to make cheaper versions of expensive objects. In the latest such innovation, scientists at the University of ...

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

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 ...

Open Science Hardware (OSH)—a term used to describe openly licensed scientific tools that are available for anyone to study, modify, reproduce and distribute—is going to happen. The question that ...

Owning a Microscope is great fun as a hobby in general, but for hackers, it is a particularly useful instrument for assembly and inspection, now that we are building hardware with “grain of sand” ...

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 ...
