Since its inception, fluorescence imaging has revolutionised biological research, providing an invaluable tool for scientists to explore and visualise cellular structures and processes at a microscopic scale.
This RMS studentship was focused on creating and then testing the functionality of an optics module that would use the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera modules instead of the currently used Raspberry Pi Camera 2 in the OpenFlexure microscope.
The RMS would like to thank everyone who attended elmi2024 in Liverpool (4 – 7 June), for making it such a special event for the Light Microscopy community.
Optical microscopy has used the same manufacturing methods for milling and sanding glass elements to produce high-quality optics for over a century. Recent developments in 3D printing have opened the possibility of printing optical components, but the surface quality of these 3D prints remains unknown.
Brightfield microscopy has been a viable observation technique for cytology and histological analysis employing stained cells and tissue sections mounted on a microscope slide.
