Researchers from Germany’s Kiel University (CAU) have developed low-cost 3D printed dome-shaped systems that optimize lighting for wildlife photography. The modular illumination devices offer a cheaper, less complex alternative to existing lighting setups, while remaining capable of supporting scientific micro and macrophotography. Having made the STL files publicly available, the Kiel team’s system is also designed […]
