Microscope low-cost motorized stage
The team's goal is to create a low cost motorized microscope stage to be used in the BME teaching lab.
Project Overview
The Biomedical Engineering Experimental Teaching Lab currently exhibits two inverted fluorescent microscopes that will be used for undergraduate student laboratory activities. These microscopes currently operate according to manual translational adjustment of their stages in order to visualize various positions across a specimen under study, which can be tedious and lacks uniformity. Thus, a cost-effective motorized system is desired to automate translational adjustment of the stage throughout the xy plane in order to make analog control for users more intuitive and facilitate uniform serial imaging and image stitching processes.
