A DIY Raspberry Pi Based Computational Microscope
I came across this idea in Nature:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-43845-9.pdf
If I had more time I might have a go at it myself but too many other projects at the moment! Still, it's quite interesting and maybe has some scope as a basis for brainwaving some other ideas, if you know what I mean

This takes the idea to a higher level and adds fluorescence microscopy! A 100 Euro Lab!

There's OpenFlexure as well. I haven't done anything but look at the project.

Yeah, similar idea though maybe a bit crude. The two I posted were cited in the Sanderson prism DIC paper from the diy DIC threaddtsh wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 5:15 pmThere's OpenFlexure as well. I haven't done anything but look at the project.

Certainly not promoting it as better, just another thing that someone might find interesting or useful that happens to be an rpi powered microscope.LouiseScot wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 5:28 pmYeah, similar idea though maybe a bit crude.

I see the DIY DIC thread, but I recognize that's out of my league for now.

It's only a couple of pieces of polycarbonate, a couple of lenses, and some polarisersdtsh wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 6:11 pmLouiseScot wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 5:28 pmYeah, similar idea though maybe a bit crude.

I'm crossing my fingers for your success. Hopefully it will work even for my finite TL 70-years old microscope...LouiseScot wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 7:21 pmIt's only a couple of pieces of polycarbonate, a couple of lenses, and some polarisers

Re: A DIY Raspberry Pi Based Computational Microscope
Thanks! It really needs an infinite system in order to insert the extra optics above the objective though maybe anything's possible...Hobbyst46 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 9:28 pmI'm crossing my fingers for your success.
