[OpenSPIM] Shutters for T-SPIM

[pitrone]

Hello Luke and Niel,

The design renderings were done by Michael Weber for the Nature Methods coorespondence letter. They unfortunately did not take them. The model number of the shutter is beyond me, but Luke is probably correct… Michael, can you answer this one?

As to the levitation capabilities of OpenSPIM; I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you. :-\

Regards,
Pete
