Article Synopsis
- A new low-cost microscope called the EnderScope is designed for automated scanning and detection of microplastics in seawater samples, making it easier to study marine pollution.
- The EnderScope repurposes parts from a 3D printer, enabling efficient imaging using reflected light and fluorescence to identify microplastics over a large area.
- By utilizing affordable materials like low-cost LEDs and lighting gels, this innovative tool aims to enhance understanding of microplastic pollution in a more accessible and efficient manner.
