Sci-Fi Cam
Summary
Sci-Fi Cam is a Raspberry Pi - based camera for taking color images from a compound or stereo microscope, featuring synchronisation of images via Wi-Fi and time-lapse capability. Professional scientific cameras are expensive, and often require specialised software and dedicated computer to operate them. DSLRs or mirrorless cameras are less expensive, but are bulky and limited in functionality. The goal of the project is to design a cheap and portable color camera that is fit for taking bright-field images from a stereo or a compound microscope.
