Introducing Opol: The Open Polarimeter

More than a mere typo, Opol is the statement-piece you can’t be seen without. (Well you could. But you shouldn’t. Not if you know what’s good for you.) Designed with love and sprinkled with open-source goodness, this research-grade polarimeter will make you the envy of your peers
With its designer looks and crowd-pleasing performance specs, Opol will impress even the most critical eye. But don’t be alarmed - this is no elitist product! It can be assembled in a day for $250, including all optics, mounts and circuitry. What are you waiting for?

Articles on #openhardware have different documentation standards, making it harder for people to reproduce/customise designs.
Would it be useful if journals asked submissions to follow a single documentation certification, like the one provided by @ohsummit ?

1/n Fresh on #bioRxiv: a simple and ultra-low-cost #openhardware approach to upgrade an out-of-the-box two-photon system to reach a 3.5(xy) x 0.6 (z) mm field of view for mesoscale 3D random access scans. /w @FilipKJaniak et al. bit.ly/2BRTrJq
2/n Our ‘diverging beam optics’ (DBO) approach exploits the fact that in 2P microscopy there is no traditional collection plane. This means the images does not get blurry if the incoming laser beam is not parallel as it would in 1P microscopy.
3/n using DBO, we can flexibly set our field of view and excitation volume to match the structural properties of different biological samples. This is critical, as different species have vastly different size and density neural processes...
