Shedding Light: when Open Source serves the research in biology and bioengineering
The open source movement has facilitated the development of low cost and easy-to-use technologies for scientific settings. A study published in PLOS ONE describes the creation of a novel multi-fluorescence imaging system from readily available, low cost components. “Fluorescence imaging has become an essential tool for research and education in biological sciences and bioengineering. However, instrumentation for…
