UC2 CoreBOX: Flexible Instructional Microscopy for $250
CoreBOX is a neat open resource for teaching microscopy and optics from the folks at UC2, Swen Carlstedt, Benedict Diederich, Barbora Marsikova, Rene Lachmann and others. The setup was designed for the “Principles of Light Microscopy” Course at MPI-CBG in Dresden, and is extremely user friendly as a result, even giving estimations of time for […]
A DIY $125 liquid–liquid separator
Separating mixtures of immiscible liquids is a critical process in flow chemistry. Andrew Harvie, Jack Herrington, and John deMello have written a paper detailing how to make a useful piece of equipment to separate immiscible liquids for just $125. The project makes use of 3D Printing, a drilled out block of aluminum, a positional servo […]
MiCube: A modular fluorescence microscopy framework
miCube, not to be confused with µCube, is an a open and modular framework for the design and assembly of florescence microscopy optical devices, including devices with TIRF and widefield as well as an advertised confocal capabilities. The miCube has a peer-reviewed manuscript demonstrating it’s performance written by Koen Martens, Sam van Beljouw, Simon van […]
AttoBright: A single-molecule confocal system built from a 3D-printed scaffold
The AttoBright is a 10×20 cm single-molecule confocal system capable of single photon counting and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. The scaffolding is designed to minimize the amount of optical components needed, and make those optical components easy to install with automated alignment. A paper by James Brown, Arnaud Bauer, Mark Polinkovsky, Akshay Bhumkar, DominicHunter, Katharina Gaus, […]
