This work developed a low-cost prototype that is accessible, easily reproducible, implementable, and scalable; based on the use of technology created under principles of open software and hardware. A pathologist reviewed the obtained images and found them to be of diagnostic quality. Its excellent repeatability, coupled with its good accuracy, allows for its application in telemicroscopy and static, dynamic, and whole-slide imaging pathology systems.

There was a higher reduction in mortality in the 21st century due to national and international policies for controlling preventable diseases and maternal death. The 1918-19 flu pandemic significantly affected mortality in all population groups; violent causes were prominent in infant mortality in the 21st century.
