OpenFlexure Microscope for soil samples

Good timing, we just “officially” released the finalized verion of the guide on archive… and we are celebrating tonite with an evening of tuak and soil microscopy.
We are presenting it tonite, 19:00 CEST at another european wide indo biolab online call. see info here.

Yes, also in Spanish, and working on Japanese and Indonesian versions too!

There is a page on different microscopes that can be used. Of course the openflexure is in there… i personally think though for many of those small critters and fun microscopic live in the soils, a simple hacked webcam DIY microscope does the trick “good enough”.
Here is an instruction for that:

Btw. you can add Indonesia to the map of where the openflexure is being used. Brought one here, and producing 2 more at this very moment.
