[DIYbio] miniature flourescence microscope

Hi,

I was thinking to build one of these.  

http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v8/n10/fig_tab/nmeth.1694_F1.html

They are being made by a company called inscopix but are not available to the public.  They attach them to rat brains and watch their neurons fire as the rats run around.  

I am not planning to attach it to any brains but thought it could be useful if an array of these could be deployed in an automated microscope.

cmos sensor - raspberry pi
dichrioc mirror, emisson filter, excitation filter - ebay then cut down to size
filter cube and case - start with 3d printed but then see if there is some standard part available
led - ebay

I am not sure what the specifications of the achromatic lens should be though.  If anyone has ideas please let me know.

Mike
