A Raspberry Pi camera makes the microscope digital, and an epi-fluorescence cube makes imaging GFP a reality. With sub-micrometer resolution in brightfield and darkfield modes, you are ready to image single cells or whole tissues.</p> | <p><span class="dark" style="font-size:170%">The optics</span> are low-cost, low-energy and modular.
