HardwareX submission - Low-cost automated cell counting module fabricated using CNC milling and soft lithography
Description
Contains .stl files for CNC milling and 3D printing. Part #3 is a beam mask with holes in specific locations so that only the scattered light enters the detector. Part #4 is a retainer that keeps the glass window in place, and it has a hole through which the laser light can pass. Part #5 is the concave side of the base body of the cell counting module, which has bumps and dents for alignment because it is used in conjunction with Part #10. Part #8 is a holder for a laser module. Part #9 is a holder for a cylindrical lens. The position of the lens can be adjusted by simply reshaping the holder without modifying the body. Part #10 is the convex side of the base body of the cell counting module, which has bumps and dents for alignment because it is used in conjunction with Part #5. Part #16 is the mold to fabricate Part #5 and Part #10 with soft lithography. Part #17 is the mold to fabricate Part #8 with soft lithography. Part #18 is the mold to fabricate Part #9 with soft lithography.
