Grad students build a microscope from scratch

Post by Carsten Hoege

Hyman lab graduate student Beatriz Gomes built a microscope from scratch last week! On November 20, as part of the PhD Student Practical Course, a small group of predocs built a SPIM microscope (for Selective Plane Illumination Microscopy) in the lab of Jan Huisken. The students were supervised by Jahr Wiebke, a PhD student in the Huisken lab. Check out their handiwork in the photos below!
