Re:OpenFlexure Microscope, an open-source optical microscope by mlyle on Thursday May 20, 2021 @10:24AM (#27221469)
I built one a few months ago for our middle school science lab. It's relatively mature-- a decent mechanical system for the optics, with an OK (simple) optical design, and great build instructions.

The places where it's lacking: the electrical parts for motor drivers are clunky and annoying to build. The software could be a little better. And the transmissive microscopy setup is a bit dodgy.
