Hacking microscopes – DIYBio meetup 13dec09

image from www.flickr.com We had another gathering at The Sprouts. Mac, Jason, Jason, Dave, Kay, and I (with my son) gathered and talked about moving forward with safety stuff (pages, FAQs, and questionnaires), logo stuff, and playing around webcams.

We were going to do some wet-work, but the webcam seemed more interesting and we played with them, building a set up to see if we can use them like the folks at Hackteria.org did. In the process, we ended up taking microscopes apart so that we could have more fine control over the height of the slide.

Kinda funny to break up microscopes to build one.

Here are some pics of the afternoon (no video this time):
