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

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 ...

A false-color polarimetric image of sugar crystals floating in water. Look past the melty plastic bits, and your average 3D printer is just a handy 3-axis Cartesian motion platform. This makes them ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers repurpose a mosquito’s proboscis for 3D necroprinting, offering a lower-cost and biodegradable alternative to ...
