Algae Hacking at GaudiLabs (June 2012)
Picking Algae Cells / Patch Clamp
Setup using a CD-ROM reading head for XY micro-positioning of a small glas capillary. The coil head is controlled using an arduino. The coils are directely connected to the PWM output pins.
Picking head mounted on a XY-table for macro adjustments using the two stepper motors.
Imgae of the capillary. String algae and single cell algae in size comparison. Positioning is very precise (+/- 5 um),aspiring the algae is not yet reliable.
