Day 3, the final day of the openScopes Africa in-person workshop. Attendees from across Africa are gaining more understanding of the capabilities and research applications of the openFrame-based microscopes. Project discussions are also underway. UCT UCT IDM UCT Health Sciences

It was really incredible to watch biologists and engineers alike build up a fully functional fluorescence microscope from individual parts in a matter of minutes! We hosted 20 researchers from around Africa for an openScopes workshop Africa Microscopy Initiative #openScopesAfrica

Thank you, Asante, for making the openScopes Africa in-person workshop possible at UCT UCT IDM Thank you, Asante.

Check out our brief showcase of our recent AMI Visiting Researcher, Ajiboye E.O @ Oyemarshal, who was imaging neuronal plasticity within mouse hippocampus tissue sections! youtu.be/GDRxfxJ7Zhs

One of AMI's earliest visitors was Henrico Langeveld from the University of Pretoria who was using expansion microscopy to study malaria parasites! youtu.be/WhJzpBIoM2s
