$160 / hour
Custom image processing and instrument development from the MIC. Beyond analysis of existing data, the team designs and builds bespoke optical and electronic hardware for researchers, including open-source LED drivers and a DIY epifluorescence macroscope. Billed at $160 per hour.
A recently introduced service at the CRL Molecular Imaging Center covering both custom image processing and ground-up technology development.
What this covers. Custom image processing, analysis pipelines and quantification for existing datasets; design and fabrication of bespoke optical and electronic instrumentation; and open hardware development, published so other labs can build on it.
Recent devices built for customers. The 30 mm Cage Plate LED Driver is a self-contained LED and driver board compatible with the Thorlabs 30 mm cage plate system, with an adjustable current limit up to 3 A. The DIY Epifluorescence Macroscope and High Power Illuminator is an open-source macroscope built around the Olympus XLFLUOR 4x/0.28 NA objective, giving a 4.7 mm by 4.7 mm field of view at 1.5 um resolution with a three-channel 27 A LED illuminator, released under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Rate. $160 per hour. Contact the MIC to scope a project.
