                                         <p>For the proof of concept of the optical part we use a LED lamp - MR16 (GU5.3)- and a cube filter from a fluorescence microscope with excitation and emission filters and an adjustable lens. The LED lamp was chosen so that we didn't have to buy <strong>high-power LEDS</strong> and build a <strong>card with heat sinks</strong>. This lamp illuminates with <strong>520 lumens in a 40° cone under 12V and 6W</strong>. The low voltage was chosen as <strong>a safety measure</strong> and the small angle to <strong>avoid losing too much light</strong>. The excitation filter is a <strong>green interferential filter</strong> to excite the red fluorescent protein and the <strong>red emission filter</strong> is only a colored filter to collect all the red light in order to have a more precise measure. In the cube there is also a <strong>dichroic mirror</strong> that reflects all the green light and transmits all the red light. This mirror enables us to <strong>separate the photodiode from the light source completely</strong>.</br></br></p>

The light from the LED lamp goes through the green excitation filter and illuminates the sample thanks to a dichroic mirror. Then the red fluorescent protein is now excited and re-emits red light that goes through a lens that concentrates it on the photodiode.</br></br>

<p>The fluorescence readings of Talk'E.coli and of the Tristar microplate reader are <strong>linearly related</strong>. Furthermore, the precision of both measurements are comparable. Our device is therefore <strong>able to detect KillerRed fluorescence with enough precision</strong> to allow proper cell growth control.
