@doc do you remember when I asked you about microCT? It was for this :)

I'll be more than happy if you take some and field-test them. I'm distributing them left and right :)

Back on the microfluidic. Detection of #microplastics from water? No problem! Our microfluidic can filter and size-sort them in a single flush. Add nile red and check if they are plastic or something else. Red=plastic, black=not plastic.

Identification of #Zooplankton? Once more, not a problem. Fill a syringe from a pond, flush the liquid on the microfluidics, and boom, zooplankton is size sorted in the device, ready for identification (thanks @ReynaudEmmanuel :))

#Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease (#NTD); one diagnosis is finding the parasite egg in urine. It can be as low as one egg in one liter. We can use our microfluidic to find and identify the egg using cheap microscopes.

How cheap, you ask? Same question I asked @beniroquai: “what’s the cheapest microscope we can do for this detection?” And so the #ESP32 #microscope was born. Less than 10€, mostly 3D printed, wifi, and fully open: https://github.com/Matchboxscope/Matchboxscope/blob/master/Matchboxscope.md
