This was a joint research effort by @psl-univ.bsky.social‬, @normalesup.bsky.social, CNRS, @sonycsl-paris.bsky.social, @fz-juelich.de, and Limoges University

The imaging system can be used in plant science, fluorescent proteins, and optoelectronic devices. Build instructions and open-source software are available for easy replication, requiring minimal experience with optics or electronics.

In our #HorizonEU project, Andrea and his team at @fz-juelich.de are supporting our consortium by studying plant physiology under fluctuating illumination.

We had a wonderful lineup from Photon Systems Instruments, and also #OpenSource experimental setups being developed by researchers at the Jan IngenHousz Institute.

The DREAM microscope was part of this roaster, with a demonstration guided by our partner Ian Coghill. 👏

“The insights go beyond the reactor design. They are relevant in analytical photochemistry & photocatalysis, where poor characterisation of light is widespread.”

The authors are Yuriy Shpinov, Ian Coghill, Mrinal Mandal, Philippe Pelupessy, Isabelle Aujard, Thomas Le Saux, & Ludovic Jullien.

The research team from @normalesup.bsky.social, @cnrs.fr developed an affordable DIY mini-photoreactor using common lab parts, providing uniform illumination with minimal photon wastage. 💡 📐
