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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have optimized and 3D-printed helix structures as optical materials for Terahertz (THz) frequencies, a potential ...

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 ...
