Update :
Dreck ist auf dem Bild Sensor. Mit klopapier und isopropanol zu reinigen hinterlegt immer neuen Dreck. 😫 #openflexure
Neuer Versuch: Linse in ein sieb, spülie +warmes Wasser. Spühlen trockenen lassen #openflexure
Wien krieg man die Linse sauber ohne es schlimmer zu machen #openflexure
Ich hab die verdammte Linse von der Kamera verloren 😞
Das kleine schwarze teil, auf dem kleinen schwarzen teil. #openflexure
Erste Ergebnisse sind mager. Da ist noch irgendwo Dreck zwischen Photo Sensor und linse #openflexure
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: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.16.628684v1.full.pdf.
The microscope chasis was from #OpenFlexure project: https://openflexure.org
The link to the stl files to print the lenses is: https://pureportal.strath.ac.uk/files/250315808/PURE_data.zip
Now I have to look for a place to try this in Helsinki, maybe at #hacklabfi https://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.

#crowdfunding post!
Valerian Sanga of Bongo Tech and Research Labs in #Tanzania is advancing global medical microscopy by working to manufacture the first medical-grade #OpenFlexure Microscope.
To address key challenges like cybersecurity for digital diagnostic tools, he’s pursuing a Master’s in Cybersecurity at the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology.

@vik Wonderful work and very nice to see you working on this! Does the #openflexure block stage also set the layer height? How do you control the extrusion flow?

I've been working on #OpenSourceHardware #microscopes for #plankton, starting with #Planktoscope. Due to unsatisfactory optics and software, I began modifying the #OpenFlexure for flow imaging, creating the #FlowFlexure #microscope. This version includes a peristaltic pump and tube holder, fitting into the existing structure. The #OpenSCAD integration isn't perfect, and I'm seeking collaborators. Next steps are documentation and integration into the Client. #OSH #GOSH

v7 of the microscope is now in Beta.
