3D print made from 2D photo taken of a Whitefish blastula microscope slide containing stages of mitosis. This is a 3D print of the anaphase stage of mitosis made by a MakerBot Replicator 2 in my home office. Similar 3D prints were made by sending the stl file overseas to i.Materialize with a turn-around time of 2 - 3 weeks and a cost of about $17.00 per 3D print. These 3D prints can be used as part of a tactile learning object so that students who are blind or visualy impaired can learn by touch and feel what sighted students learn by seeing when using a microscope.
