Abstract

A low cost remote imaging platform for biological applications was developed. The “Picroscope” is a device that allows the user to perform longitudinal imaging studies on multi-well cell culture plates. Here we present the network architecture and software used to facilitate communication between modules within the device as well as system communication with external cloud services. A web based console was created to control the device and view experiment results. Post processing tools were developed to analyze captured data in the cloud. The result is a platform for monitoring biological experiments from outside the lab.
