Where are you? (OFM location survey)

Build Reports
1

Hi all. Great to see such a massive community around the project, but we’re curious just how far we reach. To the best of my knowledge, this is a list of all the countries where an OpenFlexure Microscope has been built or used.

Please let us know if there’s anywhere you can add to the list (before I just start shipping OFMs to the largest countries still in grey). I’m going to update this map with all the posts as we go, so it should stay up to date.

This is for interest and outreach use only - we won’t use this information to try and identify anyone. If you’d rather not share this information, no problem

I’ve been talking to a colleague in South Africa who’s built one (and motorised it with ridiculously fast motors, I hope he uploads the video)!

Switched to OpenFlexure pink to keep @jc2450 happy. At this point, we cover more of the world than most band’s world tours
