<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Dear OpenSpim community members,<br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">I am proud to announce the version
0.1 “rubber” release of the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
style="color: rgb(51, 51, 238); text-decoration: none;"
href="http://mu-spim.xyz/mu_spim_rubber.html">mu-spim</a>.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">It is the first prototype of a
light-sheet microscope for smartphones. It is still very rough
and DIY-ish, but implements the bases of light-sheet
microscopy.</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">The design is largely inspired by
the SPIM Corinne Lorenzo, Valérie Lobjois, Amina Maandhui and
I developed in Toulouse in 2008 - 2010 (<a

href="http://www.cnrs.fr/insb/z-outils/images/site/recherche/publis/2010/article-ducommun.jpg">this
one</a>). It benefits from the support and partnership of
the <a moz-do-not-send="true" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 238);

<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">This project seeks to:</p>
<ul style="padding-left: 2em;margin: 1em 0px;">
<li style="margin: 1em 0px;">
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Popularize microscopy and create
vectors for scientists/public exchanges, e.g. through the
exchange of biologic samples to be imaged (see the <a
moz-do-not-send="true" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 238);
text-decoration: none;" href="http://foldscope.com">PrakashLab’s
foldscope</a>). The reception so far with lay people is
quite positive. I think there are many educational
opportunities opened, particularly in inter-disciplinary
settings.</p>
</li>
<li style="margin: 1em 0px;">
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Create a <strong>compact, field
ready, 3D microscope</strong> (on those aspects, I’d be
happy to ear from tech companies).</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">It is for now a <strong>fully
open project</strong> (CC-BY-SA-NC), and I am looking
for any kind of collaboration that could make it progress.
This early release is a way to find such collaborations.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">You can browse the project (openscad
based) <a moz-do-not-send="true" style="color: rgb(51, 51,
238); text-decoration: none;"
href="http://github.com/damCB/mu_spim">on github</a>
(getting a github account is painless and not intrusive. It is
also a very efficient collaboration platform).</p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Feel free to pass this message along
to anyone who might be interested.<br>
</p>
Best,
<p style="margin: 1em 0px;">Guillaume</p>
