Caltech Engineers Build Smart Petri Dish
Loading...
Uploaded by caltech on Oct 3, 2011
Caltech engineers have built an ePetri dish - a compact, small, lens-free microscopy imaging platform. It can directly track the cell culture or bacteria culture within the incubator. The data from the ePetri dish automatically transfers to a computer outside the incubator by a cable connection. This technology can significantly streamline and improve cell culture experiments by cutting down on human labor and contamination risks.

thats not a petry dish ,thats a lego set and a nano chip for augmented spy chips

Applied math, and Civil, Mechanical, and Bioengineering
Seems like the Webb Telescope even stronger than the Hubble Space Telescope
With Dark Energy and latest Cosmology

@kathrynblogs are you 12? Get a life you fucking NOOB! you know nothing of what you or me is talking about. your just splatting out words that sound good cause your a fucking MOTARD! ROFL try and figure that one out MOTARD!

@Nonvido "The culture is placed on the image-sensor chip, while the phone’s LED screen is used as a scanning light source. The chip automatically transfers data to a computer via cable, all from inside the incubator."
The phone is used as a light source, not the source of the camera. Do some research, bonehead. There's also no point to spend hundreds of dollars to make a complex holder for a smartphone. They were intelligent to use legos. It also makes the experiment easily verifiable.

Yeah too bad you got the Phone BACKWARDS, CALTECH wouldn't have made such a childish mistake its all for show nothing real all that money spent on that expensive equipment you think they would try and use something other then LEGOS to look more legit ROFL
-
I like how they use LEGOS for there equipment very professional ROFL

Is that LEGO?

So awesome. So simple. What's the thing tightened down with the hex screws? And I don't see the purpose of the phone's screen? Why not use the phone's LED flash, or a custom LED diode? Is it just so you have a dim light source that scans back and forth? Or is there something more?
