OpenFlexure Microscope
Enabling telepathology with open hardware high end microscopes
The OpenFlexure Microscope is an open-source laboratory-grade robotic digital microscope. Robotic digital microscopy opens up huge potentials for remote collaboration in the diagnosis of disease, i.e. telepathology. Telepathology allows remote second opinions, or specialist diagnosis when no local specialist is available. It also opens up possibilities for scientific collaboration and online education. This project will enable us to work on the usability and robustness of our open source telepathology features. Clinical teams should be able to use the OpenFlexure Microscope for diagnosis in field conditions, anywhere in the world.
