OpenFlexure Scope
Our first real build of an OpenFlexure Scope is about to happen (23may19)!
more to come!
Following instructions from GitHub
Actuator Assembly
Used WD40 to oil the screws before twisting down.
Used Blue LED below, with 150ohm resister to start (maybe not best?)
Used longer screws (15mm) to attach the motors.
Figured out exactly how to wire things up, so could do bright field or epifluor.
However, to date (dec2019), we have only been able to image nuclei stained with sybr safe, not yet comets...
The program openflexure ev is put into the fedora system of the 'inner sanctum' space.
login with pi@openflexture.local (and pass from our dear old mascot! )
The motor board was set up and running already by December 2019 also, but we are not yet able to take overall panoramas of samples.
Much more will come soon, we hope, including the full configuration so far...
