Looking for weekly reports?

To-Do

  • put away 25mm lens
  • put away filter, which is not a dichroic
  • research what to order for heated lid

Weekly goals

- 3/25: Optics finished. Code started. - 4/1: Heated lid finished. - 4/8: Updated heat transfer function. Successful PCR. - 4/15: QRT-PCR code finished. - 4/22: Setup is ready for QRT-PCR. (i.e., the mechanical setup works) - 4/29: Successful QRT-PCR from the side. - 5/6: the top. Now which one was better?

Progress Notes

3/18/11

Optical setup appears to be working.

3/16/11

Added dichroic mirror.

Question: how can I verify the optical setup? it seems to respond to driving signal, not fluorescence.
