2, Try to take some small video of thepttx3-chR2 C.elegans.
August 20
1, Lab meeting about how to take our video in a standard way.We decided to take 40sec each one: 10s for white light, 10s for 470nm light, 10 for white light and 10s for another wavelength light.In this way, we could use some video software to analyze the test result.
