CellGazer represents an advanced fusion of hardware innovation and digital functionality, delivering a sophisticated portable microscope experience. Its core components, including a Raspberry Pi for control, SPI-controlled motors and LEDs, a custom-designed PCB, a Flask server, and a React app with integrated image editing, work in harmony to redefine microscopy. By capturing high-resolution cellular images and enabling direct image editing and saving within the application, CellGazer introduces a new level of convenience and versatility to microscopy.
At the heart of CellGazer lies the Raspberry Pi, orchestrating seamless communication between the React app, image editing libraries, and hardware components. The SPI-controlled motors and LEDs guarantee precision in focus, zoom, and lighting adjustments, enhancing the quality of captured images. The custom-designed PCB and the Flask server facilitate real-time synchronization, while the React app's intuitive interface not only controls the microscope but also offers a suite of powerful image editing tools. With CellGazer, the power to explore, edit, and analyze cellular images is united in a single, accessible platform.
