Who has an OpenSPIM?

Feel free to edit this page with information about your system! (If you do not have an account yet, it is simple!)

= Aachen, Germany =
 * Life Sciences Engineering Business Unit at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology IPT.
 * Our OpenSPIM design has a temperature controlled sample chamber for long-term experiments and uses a timing belt for precise sample rotation.

= Dresden, Germany =


 * Tomancak group at the Max-Planck Institute of molecular Cell Biology and Genetics.

= Madison, WI, USA =


 * The Laboratory of Optical and Computational Instrumentation (LOCI) run by Kevin Eliceiri at the University Wisconsin-Madison. It uses a Coherent Cube laser and a Hamamatsu Orca R^2 camera, being controlled by a 32-bit Windows XP computer.


 * The OpenSPIM software was developed in this lab by Johannes Schindelin and Luke Stuyvenberg, and tested and refined with the help of Julie Last and Jayne Squirrel (see the People page for details), using that setup. The source code is hosted on GitHub.

= Heidelberg, Germany =
 * Maizel and Lemke groups at the Center for Organismal Studies of the Heidelberg University.
 * This setup slightly differs from the specifications of OpenSPIM v1.0. In particular we use a Cobolt laser, Nikon lenses and an Orca4, the whole running under Windows7 Pro.
 * More details and pictures about the COS Heidelberg OpenSPIM.

= Cambridge, UK =
 * The Goldstein group in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge.
 * We used a periscope to divert existing green and blue laser lines, and included a Thorlabs shutter in the beam path. We also use a Photometrics Coolsnap Myo.
 * More pictures to come!

= Melbourne, AU =
 * The Petrou group at the Florey Institute and Centre for Neural Engineering at the University of Melbourne.
 * We are deploying OpenSPIM for CLARITY and Scaleview based imaging of brain tissue for studying neural morphology. We use Dragon Lasers and a Andor Neo sCMOS camera.
 * Pictures to come!
