OpenScope is an open source project that combines three components for anyone to explore the micro world anytime, anywhere. The 3D-printable open hardware turns your smartphone into a 200x microscope, the image processing application helps you recognize specific objects, and the online community allows you to share and contribute your findings from the microscope. OpenScope is expanding microscopy technologies beyond research laboratories and transforming the way we interact with the micro world.
