OpenFlexure is an open source laboratory-grade microscope used to diagnose malaria and cancer. In this interview Julian Stirling, one of the core developers, tells us how the project evolved from its academic roots to a diverse community of people who use it, build it, sell it, teach it & develop it. OpenFlexure is manufactured in many places to build local capacity. The next step is medical device certification, a slow but worthwhile process. https://nlnet.nl/news/2025/20250806-openflexure-interview.html#NGI #NGI0 #openhardware

This is really interesting. I think doctors in 3rd world countries are something very abstract for the average person on here, but a 300€ microscope with 250nm resolution is kind of a big deal for independent researcher / makers who are playing with either photolithography or small particles.
