[DIYbio] DIY fluorescence microscope

Forgot to update, The filter works under daylight but for some strange reason not in the microscope. Maybe because the laser goes through the lense and is filtered too, or because the angle is bad and there is not sufficient illumination.

Will try next week again

[DIYbio] Re: Announcing DIYbiosphere -- connecting DIYbio activities worldwide

Dear Jason,
thanks for your continuous efforts to moderate and promote this community! The website looks very helpful and i like its clear and minimalistic design. Really appreciate it.
Best,
Rüdiger

With significant growth in activities globally, our /local page has strained to keep up and simply is not a great representation of the the larger community. So we're happy to unveil this alpha system at sphere.diybio.org. You can get involved in shaping it.


Our aim with DIYbiosphere is to make it easier for the community to share structured information about projects and organizations. It's a venue for community members to help raise awareness about opportunities to get involved in various activities and to provide those activities with context across the larger movement.


By adopting Github as the backend platform and using simple markdown-based entries, we hope this approach is a convenient way for members of the community to collaborate on the development of this shared information resource.


We hope you'll check out the site.  There you'll find information about:

  • community labs
  • projects
  • incubators
  • start-ups
  • networks
  • events
  • local groups
  • other (for the misfits)

Is your project or organization represented? If you feel something is missing or incorrect, we invite you to contribute! Social commentator Jenny Reardon has noted that we live in an era in which: "Nothing endures; all is 'in-formation.'"


As such, we'll need many hands to help shape the formation of this community over time!


And while it's a bit recursive, this project does have it's own project page on DIYbiosphere. 🙂


Jason

Re: [DIYbio] diy magnetic plate for DNA purification?

I'd recommend kjmagnetics over united nuclear - they tend to have a much wider selection with better prices.

Yeah, I know of the commercial ones. We got 2, but they're $300 or so.
Pricing the small 0.25 diameter magnets, you can get 100 for $32 from
unitednuclear. I was thinking of placing them on a used pipette tip
rack. That is, unless the magnets the companies use for their stands
are special for magnetic beads? Anyone know?
