Goal
For the Genomic Integrity 2018 project, and more specifically to analyze the results of the comet cell assay chip for genomic integrity, we needed an automatic moving stage.
One microscope at Hackuarium is already equipped with a camera linked to a camera with a Raspberry Pi. Thus, the idea is to be able to use this camera in order to automatically take pictures of a whole slide for example. This would allow us to count cells on a slide for instance.
General concept
We will implement the automatic stage on our Zeiss Axiolab E re. This microscope is an upright microscope.
