Thank you for visiting us today to understand our work better. Looking forward to how we can adapt this small-but-mighty microscope in the clinics for #ChronicUTI diagnosis! 😃 @OpenFlexure @stirling_julian @ayakimovich #OpenScience #CollaborativeScience
Waking up to fresh microscope parts 🥰
This is an EPIC blog post on laser fault injection! He used an OpenFlexure Delta stage to lower the cost of precise positioning. courk.cc/rp2350-challen…
It was an absolute blast having our close collaborators from @CASUSscience today - a fruitful day with lab practicals & 6 microscopes built to be deployed to multiple sites for #UTI diagnosis in the near future. Exciting times! Looking forward to another stimulating day tomorrow!

#Xmas festive #OpenFlexure scopes assembly between #MLID and @BIIG_UCL at @ucl #YakimovichGroup is having a lot of fun!
Wambian courses are always so intense! Gotta post for publicity & network building, but there's never any time. So I love it when a student makes an awesome video and says I can use it - Thanks Moussa!! @WambianN @iNAMES_RS @UCAD_Senegal @Moussa_Nd0ye @OpenFlexure
We have just released a new beta of our long awaited Version 7 hardware release! 🔬 Assembly instructions and all STL files available here: build.openflexure.org/openflexure-mi… #OpenSource #OpenHardware #OpenScience #Microscopy
The OpenFlexure team are really excited to have our first ever FOSDEM stand. See you in February! fosdem.org/2025/news/2024… #OpenSource #OpenHardware
OpenFlexure "uses 3D printers and off the shelf components to build open-source, lab-grade microscopes for a fraction of traditional prices. Used in over 50 countries and every continent, the project aims to enable Microscopy for Everyone." "An open flexure microscope is built…
What can OpenFlexure do for Global Health? Dr Elisee, Dr Hummel, Dr Rosen and Dr Knapper discuss how their work in Butare, Rwanda, has enabled pathologists and strengthened their training. With thanks to the CAP Foundation. Full video on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=aGBQli…
Еven during my country's most dramatic periods of history, we continue to educate students. Thank you, @OpenFlexure, and the @GOSHCommunity , for your technical solutions. Ukraine, TNPU
Our own Dr Joe Knapper will be demonstrating #OpenFlexure opposite the #CAP24 exhibition hall all day on Monday.

Come see our @OpenFlexure team with the @CAPFndn in the Montrachet room from 9:30am-12:30pm. If you are not here on Monday, my poster is also available.
Have you ever heard of a functional 3D printed slide scanner that costs less than $500? Come see @OpenFlexure at #CAP24 Montrachet room to learn more and speak with MD Anderson alumni @4theLoveofPath
Our @OpenFlexure team will be in the Montrechet room on Sunday if you interested in a live demo. You can also message me directly for more information about the @OpenFlexure microscope #globalpath @CAPFndn #CAP24

The impact @CAPFndn has made by supporting projects like @OpenFlexure ! #CAP24 #HOD meeting! @MayaAtCAPFdn @TimAllenMDJD
A huge thanks to @rooksoup @UofGPhysAstro for visiting the lab today to tell us more about @OpenFlexure openflexure.org What a remarkable open-source, 3D-printed microscope 🔬!!! An ideal visit for #FossilFriday to try it out on some 407 million year old Rhynie chert!
🔬 Proud to support @AfricaOSH @OpenFlexure Microscope workshops through our Open Infrastructure Fund! These capacity-building workshops in Ghana are bringing affordable, open science hardware to students and researchers. Learn more: buff.ly/3TZUNtL
