A 3D-printable microscopy model inspired by an acid-fast-stained sputum specimen containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The design uses raised forms and contrasting colours to represent sputum material, background cells and acid-fast bacilli across a microscope-slide-style base. It offers a durable and tactile way to introduce mycobacterial microscopy and the laboratory investigation of tuberculosis.
Possible uses include:
• Teaching the principles of acid-fast staining
• Introducing Mycobacterium morphology
• Clinical microbiology and biomedical science revision
• Infection-prevention education
• Classroom and laboratory displays
• Science exhibitions and outreach activities
Please note: this is a simplified educational representation rather than a diagnostic reference. Genuine specimens vary with sample quality, preparation, staining technique and viewing conditions.
