The first fully 3D-printed microscope is here!🔬 Made from affordable resin lenses, this $60 microscope is easy to assemble in under three hours and can even magnify individual blood cells. Science just got more accessible!

[Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS) @GirlsInScience]

Researchers have designed and assembled the first microscope built completely from 3D-printed parts! 🔬

Optical microscopes have led to countless scientific advances, and now you can print your own for only $60! While the original 3D-printed microscope blueprints have been available for a few years, accessibility was limited by the expensive commercial optical lenses needed to complete the microscope. Researchers at the University of Strathclyde recently developed optical-quality, 3D-printed lenses made out of an affordable, photopolymerized clear resin. The new, fully 3D-printed microscope can be assembled in under three hours, and can allow viewers to see individual blood cells!
