[OpenSPIM] OpenSPIM

[Pavel Tomancak]

Dear Yusuke,

We are working on organising a course about light sheet microscopy. Its an EMBO practical course application, if it works out, you will hear about it. That would be the easiest way to start.

Otherwise I recommend to search for resources on the internet. Open hardware is an increasingly active movement. Lots of things are discussed on twitter where you can easily connect with people with the same interests. The keywords to search for are things like 3d printing, arduino, raspberry pi etc. There is a lot out there.

There is also a primordial idea to organise a course about open hardware in general but its too soon to talk about it.

All the best

PAvel

First of all, I appreciate you and people involved in OpenSpim project, since it makes me so motivated to build own SPIM, whereas I am just a user of microscopy in the meantime. I really enjoyed the paper published in Nature method and the website. This is really helpful especially for biologist like me to learn how to assemble microscopy. I would like to learn how to design microscopy, including assemble of optical path, choice of each components (laser, beam expander, relay lens, etc), and practical skill or difficulties. I'm wondering whether you could tell me some text books, manuscripts, websites, or workshops, which are useful to understand how to design and assemble microscopy.
