Jour 4 : graines

Le coin laboratoire de #SherlockHolmes dans le salon du 221b Baker Street à #londres, équipé de #microscopes, de béchers et de fioles de produits chimiques pour analyser les empreintes, les cheveux, la terre sous les chaussures, les fibres et pourquoi pas les graines accrochées aux vêtements.

Les méthodes utilisées par le célèbre détective ont fait l'admiration d'Edmond Locard, qui a fondé à #lyon la police scientifique.

"[R]ather than invest in more powerful and more expensive technologies, some scientists are using an alternative technique called expansion microscopy, which inflates the subject using the same moisture-absorbing material found in diapers."

Things on my writing #ToDoList that have been for multiple years:
- #Levers vs #Microscopes, and different types of technologies that augment #labor
- Work worth NOT doing, and frameworks for determining whether other people’s buy-in and #consent should be needed for a person to do something (have #agency)
- There are #RebelsInTheDeathStar (this has probably been 10 years on the to-do list 🫠)

Happy birthday to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723), the Dutch scientist & progenitor of #microbiology known for his improvements to microscope tech. He was a draper in Delft, then a politician with an interest in lensmaking. Using his handmade #microscopes, he was 1st to observe microorganisms, which he called tiny animals, or “animalcules”. He also made pioneering microscopic observations on muscle fibres, bacteria, coffee & blood flow 🧵

Worlds Within Worlds: An Introduction to Microscopes by Bruno Kremer, 2024

A microscope is a gateway to another dimension, allowing us to explore the fascinating realm of microorganisms. From the colonies of green algae that grace the cover of this book, to bacteria, cellular structures and protozoa – an entire world of life, almost limitless and yet invisible to the naked eye, awaits through the lens of a microscope.

Cool custom-built #lightsheet #microscopes: Turns out you can build a tiny light-sheet projector by whipping an optical fiber back and forth in front of a GRIN lens. The entire assembly is hand-made (coils, magnet, casing) and fits into an 18G needle. This looks like it could be super useful for imaging deep in vivo, e.g. low in a cortex.

I've been working on #OpenSourceHardware #microscopes for #plankton, starting with #Planktoscope. Due to unsatisfactory optics and software, I began modifying the #OpenFlexure for flow imaging, creating the #FlowFlexure #microscope. This version includes a peristaltic pump and tube holder, fitting into the existing structure. The #OpenSCAD integration isn't perfect, and I'm seeking collaborators. Next steps are documentation and integration into the Client. #OSH #GOSH
