The OpenFlexure project is an open-source initiative focused on development of 3D printed, laboratory-grade digital microscopes and positioning stages, making high-quality microscopy accessible to all.

International collaboration between engineers and scientists who work with the OpenFlexure microscope shown as a comic happening inside of the Open Hardware logo, a cog that opens slightly at the bottom to the shape of a keyhole. In each panel is a pair of people busy at their desks. One from each pair crosses the panel boundaries to pass a tool to the next person. Others are constructing their microscopes or doing research using them. A git flow diagram runs along the cog, nestling in its teeth. Behind the cog is a colorful mess of curling cables, overlapping tools, roots, and splashes of water, referencing what the included scientists are working on which involved the microscope.

Project Showcase PUMA Microscópio de código aberto impresso em 3D O PUMA é um projeto de sucesso, publicado oficialmente no Journal of Microscopy. Foi desenvolvido para observação direta de imagens (a olho nu), e mesmo sendo portátil, oferece opções avançadas de aquisição de imagens, medições e controle por computador. PUMA é um acrônimo para: [P]ortátil, [U]pgradeable (Expansível, Atualizavel), [M]odular, [A]cessível. • Portátil: Totalmente portátil, compacto e leve. Não requer computador, smartphone, câmera ou monitor externo para funcionar. • ”Upgradable” (Expansível) e Modular: Pode ser usado como um microscópio monocular de alta qualidade, com espelho ajustável para iluminação, ou expandida para um sistema trinocular com iluminação de Köhler e unidade de realidade aumentada com HUD (visor de informações) para o computador integrado • Acessível Open Source: Todos os componentes e informações do projeto são de código aberto, sem restrições por patentes ou pagamentos. Pode ser construído com impressão 3D e componentes e acessórios disponíveis comercialmente.

LIFeling can be connected to external hardware delivering positive or negative current, allowing it to be stimulated much like a neuron in an electrophysiology experiment while its membrane potential is observed directly.

PUMA 3D Printed Open Source Microscope PUMA is backed up by a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Microscopy and designed for direct eye observations and ultra-portability with advanced options for digital imaging, measurements and computer control. PUMA is an acronym for: [P]ortable, [U]pgradeable, [M]odular, [A]ffordable. • Portable: PUMA is totally portable. Not only is it small and lightweight but it does not require a computer, smart phone, camera or PC monitor to operate. • Upgradeable and Modular: PUMA can used as a simple but high quality monocular microscope with an adjustable mirror for illumination, all the way through a trinocular scope with full Kohler illumination and an augmented reality unit for a HUD of its integrated computer. • Affordable and Open Source: All aspects of the PUMA are open source and not monopolised behind paywalls and patents. It is designed to be built by anyone with access to 3D printing and uses fixtures and fittings available from retail outlets.

Queria que tivesse um smartphone opensource e openhardware que funcionasse com Linux, tivesse software livre que pudesse ser substituído por outro quando não tivesse mais suporte, que fosse compatível pra espelhar tela pra TVs e que bateria fosse opcional (só pra caso quisesse usar na rua)

We're now selling Mothbox Pro kits in the UK and EU. 🦋

It's an open-source light trap from @dinalab.bsky.social that photographs every insect that lands on it. 20% of profits go back to them.

Batch 1 is small and we'd love your feedback.

If you are a neuroscientist, educator, student, maker or hacker interested in how these worlds can intersect, come and talk with us in Rome.

We suspect there will be quite a lot to discuss.

A guy with a TIG welder and $12–15k in parts can build a human-carrying VTOL octocopter in a garage. We ran the numbers and published the whole spec instead of sitting on it. Ideas locked in a drawer are worth what you paid for them. blueribbonteam.com/blog/2026/05... #eVTOL #OpenHardware
