Brighter LEDs have arrived (for both GFP and RFP) and some new filters for RFP have come in.  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>'));

graph.commit('design','27 August 2015',$('<div><h4>Hardware Design</h4>We visited the John Innes Centre in Norwich today and met the NRP-UEA iGEM team. We learned all about their project and gave a presentation about ours! We were also planning to give a demonstration of our hardware, but unfortunately due to technical issues we weren\’t able to set up our microscope properly. Lesson learnt: make the microscope easier to assemble on the go and more reliable. .</div>'));

graph.commit('design','28 August 2015',$('<div><h4>Hardware Design</h4>We\’ve received a proposal for a new translation stage design – not sure whether to take it. The project is heating up and we set up a division of labour for the coming week. Ordered RFP imaging equipment and we should hopefully have a fully working prototype by the end of the week! .</div>'));
