We used OFM microscopes at the last Hands-On Research in Complex Systems School in Trieste, Italy.

I built a Block Stage in Malaysia, I guess we can add Malaysia to the map now?

[evolk]

So, back in April I didn’t manage to take OFM with me to Portugal - I was too worried about the transit, but i did bring a few soil samples back from there and analysed them in Switzerland (which you already have on the map). If this does not count, I totally understand and will wait till November when I am definitely taking the OFM with me

[j.stirling]

@evolk I have moved our discussion of travel kits to a new topic. Thanks @wizard Malaysia is now on the map:

You can put Botswana on the map . We started building the high-resolution microscope last year, even though it is not yet complete. We secured position 3 in a pitch challenge where we aimed to utilize the microscope to detect diseases using AI, starting with malaria.
