Blue light source
We have devised a simple method to create your own light source from cheap, readily accessible materials, that can be customised for light intensity and pulse frequency - with minimal prior knowledge of electric circuits or experience with building them.
Background
This year being The International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies, we were inspired to investigate potential uses of light in synthetic biology. One such application is optogenetics. Optogenetics is defined by the control of cellular dynamics using light. It allows for the ability to control the translocation of proteins, transcriptional activation and other potential uses.
