Prototype Design

The first steps

In the beginning we wanted to test, if it could really work to photograph fluorescence with an smartphone. Therefore we got an light engineering Filter from the "Frauenkulturzentrum Bielefeld e.V." and put it in front of the camera and the flash. You can see different colors in the picture. So in our first impression we thought it's worth to try some other Filters.

The first filtertest to get an rough impression if it could work, to use two filters for fluorescence imaging. We used one Filter in front of the flash and the same one in front of the camera. In the picture you can see purified GFP, sfGFP lysat and the lysat of a not induced sfGFP culture.

Thats nice! But how do we quantify our fluorescence output?
