The hardware itself doesn't appear to be open though? - "Blueprints are available on case by case basis"

It's not, and the process is awful. To get access to blueprints or hardware specifications you need to provide proof of academic credentials and affiliation with a relevant research project.

They really shouldn't be calling it an open-source anything.

Nanographs, a company out of Portland, is probably a better source of open microscope information (https://www.nanographs.io/).

“At this point, private individuals will not be able to obtain licences to the NanoMi platform.”

Does “open source” have a different meaning in Canadian?

It looks to me like they're doing some sort of legal technicality in order to qualify for funding of some sort.

This appears to be F tier legal fuckery, not open source at all.

I flagged this because it appears the system is not actually open-source using the common understanding of the term.

I had a look and this project is most definitely not open source. Nobody should be making that claim.

Changing the HN headline to soften the project's own bombastic claim isn't really the point of the argument. It would bhe better to highlight any project that is actually working on open source microscopy of which there are many. Flagged
