Fig. 1: Key factors contributing to successful microscopy technology adoption.
From: A roadmap for the widespread adoption of frugal microscopes
The framework is represented by three main pillars: Microscope Design, emphasizing flexibility, modularity, robustness, and portability; Support, focusing on dedicated staff, in-person training, and long-term maintenance; and Dissemination, highlighting direct engagement between developers, disseminators, and users, as well as fostering user communities, and formation of commercial partnerships. These pillars together form a strong foundation for the effective adoption of microscopy technologies in underserved communities.
