Good news! #3Dprinted #OpenSource microscope & lenses can facilitate clinical diagnostics in remote/poor places and ease access to microscopy to everyone.

The full paper is here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20.
The microscope chasis was from #OpenFlexure project: openflexure.org
The link to the stl files to print the lenses is: pureportal.strath.ac.uk/files/

Now I have to look for a place to try this in Helsinki, maybe at #hacklabfi helsinki.hacklab.fi?

Peeps! Peeps! A #science win from #Scotland! 🎉

Three hours to build. £50. Huge win. 💪

"The #microscope demonstrated sub-cellular resolution, clearly imaging individual red blood cells & detailed structures in the kidney sample" - so not just cool, actually usable for diagnostics.
