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

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 ...

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 ...

Your smartphone could soon be a fully functional microscope capable of examining samples as small as 1/200th of a millimeter. Australian researchers have developed a clip-on device that requires no ...

The demand for disposable miniature imaging platforms (DMIPs) is growing rapidly. Used for commercial, scientific, medical, and educational purposes, DMIPs have numerous applications but can be ...

Desktop microscopes can be extremely expensive, especially when you go for larger magnifications. One interesting 3D printing mod has used the frame and a 3D printed fitting to create a desktop Ender ...

Australian researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) have developed a 3D-printable "clip-on" that turns a smartphone into a fully functional microscope. Reported ...

Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) based in Australia, have this week unveiled a new 3D printable smartphone microscope they have created. The small ...

Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics (CNBP) in Australia have developed a 3D printable ‘clip-on’ optical device that they say turns any smart phone into a fully ...

For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision microscopes, thanks to a new open-source design. For the first time, labs around the world can 3D print their own precision ...

A few years ago, [Wayne] managed to blow out the main board of his Flashforge Finder attempting to change the fan. But the death of one tool ended up being the birth of another, as he ended up using ...

Researchers have used 3D printing to make an inexpensive and portable high-resolution microscope that is small and robust enough to use in the field or at the bedside. The high-resolution 3D images ...
