The world’s first fully 3D-printed microscope can be made in a few hours and for a fraction of the cost of traditional ones.

Researchers have designed and built the world’s first microscope made entirely from 3D-printed parts. And because the open-source plans are already available online, almost anyone can assemble ...

If you want to take pictures of tiny things close up, you need a macro lens. Or a microscope. [Nicholas Sherlock] thought “Why not both?” He designed a 3D-printed microscope lens adapter that ...

and clear plastic lenses they designed themselves that cost $0.13 / £0.11 AU$0.22, using low-cost and accessible 3D printers. The microscope, which weighs only 3 kg / 6.6 lbs, was completed with ...

The SW200DL has a sturdy metal body, ground glass optics, easy-to-operate mechanical components and lenses that can magnify up to 1000X. This microscope ... came with three batteries, so it ...

The X-ray microscope (XRM) uses optical magnification to enhance the resolution of micro CT. Like electron microscopy, micro CT has applications in all fields of science, engineering and industrial ...

The researchers programmed a Mars 3 Pro 3D printer to build ... and cost a fraction of the expensive glass lenses traditionally used in powerful microscopes. The team tested the 3D-printed ...
