It’s not too hard to understand that Raspberry Pi cameras can be used for microscope builds – you just need the right lenses to focus the image on a small enough object. With a bit of custom code and software paired with it, you can then use it to view a tiny, hidden world.
“We have developed M4All, a fully open-source, 3D-printable, and modular microscopy system, which enables wider accessibility to advanced imaging techniques at a much lower price point than commercial microscopes,” Gemma Cairns, one of the students working on this project, tells us. “We integrate Raspberry Pi components into our M4All systems for microscope control, image capture, and data analysis.”
The team, the NanoBioPhotonics group at the University of Strathclyde, have been using their imaging expertise to “investigate…
