Weekly Updates

Week 03/14 – 03/18

This Week

- Defined a modified equipment list with the help of Uli and Jeff at the Danuser lab (simplified design without TIRF and a single laser)

- Research was made on the best choices for lasers, cameras and objectives

- The microscope at station 3 was approved for use with the e-STORM project, with minor modifications depending on the specific parts acquired

Next Week

- A final equipment list will be compiled and quotes will be obtained

- Ideally, the equipment will be ordered

- Work will start with the image analysis programming, including the analysis of code obtained from the Danuser lab plus literature reading

Risks and Issues

- The adoption of the microscope frame at station 3 might be premature depending on the final parts and design we acquire

- There might be a fair amount of experimentation with the setup since we are using the most minimalist approach possible

- There is a delay on the planned time for part ordering, which has to be addressed next week or shipping and processing time might interfere with the project execution
