[OpenSPIM] Temperature Control for the SPIM chamber

[edgar.escobar.nieto at ipt.fraunhofer.de]

 Hi Michael,

Thanks for your answer.

I didn't know that the perfusion system was able to control the temperature as well, sounds interesting.
Anyway my approach is to control the temperature using a PT100 sensor and a PID controller.
I already asked in the workshop and they can made the chamber out of Stainless Steel, so I won't have
oxidizing/contamination problems.

Kind regards,
Edgar

The salt in combination with water will form a nasty layer of something on the Aluminum, don't ask me for the details. We saw the very same effect in a chamber made of Aluminum that was filled with PBS. > >Best, >Michael _________________________________________________________________________
