The aim of this project is to develop a cheap microscope camera that tracks growth of cell cultures.
Camera: National Geographic 20x/200x USB-Microscoop
Computer: Raspberry Pi 3 B+
dependencies
- python (GPIO control, image processing)
- hub-ctrl (switching USB connections on/off)
- fswebcam (easy single image capture)
- camorama (live view from webcam to set up focus)
- crontab (schedule running code for timelapses)
- rclone
to do
- write script that calculates confluency (python? imageJ is pain)
- write app to monitor growth remotely
- send message (telegram) when ready to split
results
- ?? mAh powerbank lasted 16 hours when imaging every 10 min
