[OpenSPIM] Great OpenSPIM setup!

Fri Jan 31 10:31:08 CST 2014

 Hi Neil,

I attach to this mail a zip file containing all the information regarding the modifications I made to the OpenSPIM. If you have some questions
just let me know. 

Kind regards,
Edgar

                   Hi Edgar, thanks for the details and thanks for sharing.  I'll look     forward to seeing the details/files on the wiki.
     Great stuff!

     Neil

Hi Edgar,

              *The redesign of           the sample arm of the 4D Stage so that a timing belt and           timing pulleys can be used instead 
         of the round belt and pulleys           included with the 4D Stage. This was done because a slip           between the belt 
         and pulleys was identified           causing inaccuracies when rotating the sample. I don't know if           someone else had this issue,  
              I haven't noticed any trouble with belt slippage, but it's good to       know this may be a problem (and moreover that there is an       excellent solution available.)

       *The redesign of           the sample chamber so that the temperature of the medium can           be controlled. For doing that a  
         PT100 special for liquids,           TO220 resistors and a PID controller were employed. The sample           chamber had to 
         be built out of stainless steel           so that  corrosive effects due to the sample medium can be           avoided. 
              This is great stuff. Do you know off-hand if these devices are       stable over time? i.e. four hours, eight, twenty-four? I suspect       good temperature control may improve time-lapse recording       somewhat...

       I can provide you           the drawings and the CAD files, also the part number and           manufacturer of the components that 
         were used,  just let me           organize the information accordingly. 

         I think that would make sense           to make this information available through the OpenSPIM wiki           so that eveyone can use it if interested.  
         At the same time I could have a           feedback about the changes I made and further improvements can           be done to the design. What is  
         the opinion of all?       By all means! That's what the wiki is there for, after all.

       Thanks for sharing!
       Luke
