Welcome to the forum @jkamminga!

Hi everyone! :raising_hand_man:t4: Does anyone have contact with people in Latin America who use OpenFlexure for research or education? I want to invite them to share their experiences in our next LIBRE hub workshop in Chile, where we will assemble motorized OpenFlexure :raised_hands:t4:

I hope @nanocastro and @pcremades to be available on Nov 23.

Here is my low cost microscope build from Brisbane, Australia!

Images are:

  • Pine leaf (top right hand corner)
  • Corn stalk (bottom left hand corner)
  • Red blood cells (bottom right hand corner)

Thanks for the great design! I am using the actuators manually and getting great results so not going to bother with motorising it as I don’t think it is worth the effort at this stage.

They look great Mike, especially if you’re focusing by hand! Have you run the camera calibration routine in the software? It’d give the images a more authentic colour

Not yet, this was just using libcamera via the command line. I’ll do that next!

Our workshop is in Sai Gon, Vietnam.

Worked on custom design since '21, then took a long break due to shortages. We just resumed and excited to share new integration over next few days.

Hi @JohemianKnapsody

I just updated your last two tables as a number of countries had fallen off the lists for the Americas, Africa, and Asia. (including Brazil, Colombia , Nigeria, Sudan, Sri Lanka and Indonesia) As they were still on the map I have added them back in

Thanks @j.stirling, my mistake

Currently living in the USA, but I’ll throw my hat in for Venezuela having some representation.

I’m in the process of building my first OFM, and plan on sending some to biologists in Venezuela soon.
