Abstract

The global microscopy community has made wide efforts in imaging technology dissemination, especially to lower- and middle-income countries. Yet, many efforts have not fully realised their aim of increased, sustained microscopy utilisation. To guide future outreach initiatives towards more positive results, we analysed over 2300 unique applications across seven recent international microscopy workshops. We found significant differences in research priorities, as well as in microscopy experience and applications between lower- and higher-income regions. We discuss the importance of tailoring technology dissemination, training curricula, and capacity-building to these regional variations.
