| − | Fluorescence microscopy has become a ubiquitous part of biological research, but hardware can often be prohibitively expensive. This is particularly true for labs with small budgets, including those in developing countries. We aim to provide a well documented, easily modifiable and high quality fluorescence microscope to address this problem. The motivation for the project comes from our own experience: that is, to make the best education and facilities accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial status.</p>

| − | <p>The mechanics of the microscope will be 3D printable, and all other parts will be cheap and accessible. These introduce a novel method (developed by Dr Richard Bowman, Cambridge) for precise positioning and control which exploits the flexibility of the printed parts. The microscope will also utilize the developed-in-Cambridge Raspberry Pi board and camera module for image capture. Ultimately we’re aiming for <10 micron resolution, both in brightfield and fluorescence modes. We are also developing software to allow user-friendly control and image processing that will make the microscope highly modifiable and re-programmable.</p>
