The development of a compact and affordable fluorescence microscope can be a formidable challenge for growing needs in on-site testing and detection of fluorescent labeled biological systems, especially for those who specialize in biology rather than in engineering. In response to such a situation, we present an open-source miniature fluorescence microscope using Raspberry Pi. Our fluorescence microscope, with dimensions of 19.2 × 13.6 × 8.2 cm3 (including the display, computer, light-blocking case, and other operational requirements), not only offers cost-effectiveness (costing less than $500) but is also highly customizable to meet specific application needs. The 12.3-megapixel Raspberry Pi HQ Camera captures high-resolution imagery, while the equipped wide-angle lens provides a field of view measuring 21 × 15 mm2. The integrated wireless LAN in the Raspberry Pi, along with software-controllable high-powered fluorescence LEDs, holds potential for a wide range of applications. This open-source fluorescence microscope offers biohybrid sensor developers a versatile tool to streamline unfamiliar mechanical design tasks and open new opportunities for on-site fluorescence detections. |
