We have redesigned our epicube to be much more compact whilst reducing the leaking of light resulting in higher quality images: almost comparable to the Lab microscope! The motors have been powered up so we can get our x-y-z movement automated and the chassis has undergone some minor tweaks and improvements.</div>')); | ||

Using a sapphire ball lens has helped to improve our resolution substantially and some calculations and testing has been done to select the correct filters for fluorescence and optimise the microscopes field of view and resolution – requests for new designs to be sent to the Hardware folk!</div>')); | ||
