About the Fly High throughput - optogenetics PCB
Fly High throughput - optogenetics is an open source PCB design by open-neuroscience, published on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 170 × 170 mm, with 94 components from 21 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the AL5809-150P1-7, AL5809-20P1-7, LM317_SOT-223 and LM2596S-ADJ. By type, the board carries 26 diodes, 22 resistors, 19 ICs, 16 transistors, 8 capacitors and 2 inductors.
From the project
In collaboration with BFKLAB, we are developing a system to measure behaviour of fruit flies. The system is high-throughput, that is, we can measure several animals at a time.
In collaboration with BFKLAB, we are developing a system to measure behaviour of fruit flies. The system is high-throughput, that is, we can measure several animals at a time.
The system will have interchangeable plates (round plates, narrow corridors) at the bottom, so different assays can be performed.
Other characteristics: - Vibration motors to disturb awake/sleep patterns - Bottom infrared illumination - RGB LEDs for Optogenetics - White LEDs for simulating day/night cycles
