Microscopy for Everyone: The OpenFlexure Microscope

Julian Stirling, Joe Knapper, Ben Chisholm, Julieta Arancio, Beth Probert

OpenFlexure Microscope is a laboratory-grade, 3D-printed, digital microscope. It can automatically scan and generate high-resolution composite images of entire specimens. Our aim is to revolutionise digital diagnostics in low-resource settings by enabling local manufacturing of microscopes.
