<h2 align="center">Zephyr: DIY low-cost fluorescence scanner</h2><br />
<br />
<html><br />
<p align="justify"> <br />
Zephyr is a low-cost Do It Yourself (DIY) machine which can scan petridishes and 96 well plates for expression of fluorescence at micrometer scale. The Typhoon is the commercial machine that does the same, only it is priced around 120.000 dollars. The main difference is the use of low-cost optics. This allows you to pick exactly which fluorescence you want to detect and not to pay for the ones you do not use. Furthermore, it does not have confocal optics, as this is not that often when scanning bacteria and protein gels. This DIY machine can be built by anyone with one or two days on their hands and the costs are around 1500 dollars. </p> <br />
<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The machine is built from a plastic frame, machined by laser-cutting. This is a widely available technique and can be done by many companies. The resulting parts can be assembled like a puzzle, clicking the parts together, making it accessible. The petridishes/gels/plates are moved on a 2D table under an optical tube resembling a fluorescent microscope. By taking images one after another and combining them with the supplied stitching software a high resolution image of the entire object is obtained. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h2 align="center">Why? Reason d’être </h2><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Research is not cheap and synthetic biology is no exception. Much of the lab equipment has a running price of ten thousand dollars. For some teams this is no hurdle, their lab has all the equipment they possibly may need, while other teams may struggle with their characterization because of lack of needed equipment. This may be an explanation why in the iGEM competition certain regions/continents (e.g. Africa and Latin America) have few teams and this over the past recent years. <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Delft/Zephyr#references" style="text-decoration: none"">[1][2]</a> In our view, being able to participate in the iGEM competition should be accessible to everyone and the cost of equipment should not come to hinder creativity all over the world. <br />
</p><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
For most of the mentioned equipment, only the high tech versions are available, which makes it so costly. However the simple versions of these machines would be enough to carry the work an iGEM team has to do. For instance, we would like to draw a parallel: there are only high tech Bentleys available and no Ford Fiestas, while Fiestas would be enough for simple transportation. This is why we decided to build a low-cost Typhoon, which would be easy to make on your own. This machine is of course not as high-tech as the Typhoon, but it measures at the same scale and has roughly the same performance. <br />
</p><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Affordable lab tools for everyone is primordial to making synthetic biology open, accessible, and innovative. As part of our Human Practice endeavor, we wanted to try to make one of these essential tools affordable in order to allow more teams to participate in iGEM in the future. We believe the more teams can participate the more we will all be able to share and build together on new ideas.In the next sections we show the working principle, how to build the Zephyr, the explanation of the design, the results, discussion and conclusion. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h2 align="center">What? Working principle </h2><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The Zephyr is shown in Figure 2, where the optical parts are in the black tube. In Figure 1 this optical set-up is schematically shown. In this figure the fluorescent object (e.g. cell with GFP) is at the bottom and excited with a LED through an excitation filter. The emitted fluorescence passes through the objective, dichroic mirror, emission filter and eyepiece to be detected using a webcam. <br><br />
In Figure 2, the excitation is seen as the small blue spot on the 2D table. The 2D table contains a petridish that can be moved around to image the entire plate. <br><br />
This movement is shown in Figure 3, you move in a snake wise manner around the entire plate to make an image of it. Note that this is not a continuous motion, but a step-wise one. So, the plate is given a small displacement, it is stopped allowing the webcam to take a sharp image and then moved again to take the next image. <br />

</p><br />
<h2 align="center">How? The Zephyr DIY guide</h2><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
How to make the Zephyr can be broken down in different modules: first the buying of materials and parts, then the making of several parts, assembling them, wiring the electronic circuit, programming the microprocessor, controlling the set-up from the pc and calibrating the image stitching to make a complete image. The explanation on this is for readability on <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Delft/Zephyr_How">this</a> separate page.<br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h2 align="center">Explanation of the design </h2><br />
<p><br />
The design of the Zephyr is of course not thoughtless one, many considerations took place. Several of them are listed below, as to explain the design:<br />
<ul><br />
<li>As a machining technology the laser cutting is chosen, because it is a technique that is widely available and can be done by a company for a reasonable price (around 150 euros). This way the user does not have to have experience in milling or similar techniques. The same goes for the assembly, by using a click-wise assembly the accessibility of it is high. </li><br />
<li>The frame material is chosen as PMMA, because it is one of the plastic materials that yields the highest accuracy with laser cutting. </li><br />
<li>For excitation of the cells a high power LED is chosen over a laser. A laser would give a higher power excitation, but the LED is enough to excite colonies. Since the LED is an order 10 to 100 cheaper it is chosen. </li><br />
<li>In assembly A, the dichroic holder, next to a dichroic mirror a excitation and emission filter are used. This is common practice in fluorescence microscopy [4], since the selectivity and sensitivity of the measurement go up: the cells are excited with a more precise wavelength and a narrower region of wavelength is measured. </li><br />
<li>The maximum dimension of the object to be scanned are 140 cm by 140 cm. This is big enough for many protein/DNA gels, petridishes and can fit a 96 well plate.</li><br />
<li>For actuation stepper motor are chosen as actuation, as they provide relative accurate displacement. The disadvantage is that it uses a lot of power, even when the motor is not moving. Note that 4 motors instead of 2, which would be enough to actuate in two directions. In a first prototype 2 motors were used, however this made the displacement of the 2D table wobbling.</li><br />
<li>No displacement sensor was used, to improve the accuracy an accelerometer was tested. However this accelerometer in combination with Arduino could not provide high frequency measurements. This had as a result that the measurements did not correlate with the discontinuous displacement.</li><br />
</ul><br />
</p><br />
<h2 align="center">Results</h2><br />
<p><br />
To test the performance of the Zephyr, three experiments were performed. The first experiment is to test the selectivity: how is an <i>E. coli</i> colony with constitutive GFP expression seen with respect to a colony without GFP and a colony with constitutive RFP expression? <br />
</p><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The second experiment is to test the sensitivity: what levels of fluorescence can be detected. This is done with a nucleic acid stain at different concentrations. <br />
Finally, a part of a plate with <i>E. coli</i> colonies with constitutive GFP expression is imaged to test the scanning capabilities of the Zephyr.<br />
</p><br />
<h3 align="center">Selectivity</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
How selective is the imaging, do you see much background at objects other than GFP? To test this we made a plate as in Figure 12, which is divided into three partitions: one with <i>E. coli</i> with constitutive GFP expression, on <i>E. coli</i> no GFP expression and one with <i>E. coli</i> constitutive RFP expression.<br />
The resulting images are also shown in Figure 4 (the black boxes). The GFP picture was unfortunately somewhat out of focus, but the bright shot is the GFP being detected. The two dark pictures have no detection at all. <br />
</p><br />

<br><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 align="center">Sensitivity of imaging</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
To test the sensitivity of the Zephyr, the YOYO1 dye is used. This is a nucleic acid stain that shows fluorescence in the presence of DNA. <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Delft/Zephyr#references" style="text-decoration: none"">[3]</a>. This stain shows fluorescence at 510nm, very similar to GFP. This way we use different concentrations of this stain to characterize the sensitivity of the Zephyr to detect fluorescence. The dye is recommended to use at 100 nM. Thus a range of dilutions is made from 2µM to 10nM in water. To all these solutions 500ng of DNA was added. As a control, the 500ng of DNA diluted in water is used. <br />
</p><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
All these solutions were then scanned by both the Typhoon and the Zephyr, leading to the results of Figure 5. In these bright spots are the fluorescence being detected. <br />

<br><br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h3 align="center">Petridish reading</h3><br />
<p><br />
As explained in the ‘How?’ section, for petridish reading first a calibration must be done. This is done using the calibration text of Figure 6. Using this text (and without the assembly A present), 25 rows of 25 images are scanned. The calibration software finds the displacements between them and first stitches the individual rows together as in Figure 7. Pasting all the individual rows together is done in Figure 8. <br><br />
Now that the pattern of the displacements is found through this text calibration a part of a plate containing <i>E. coli</i> colonies with constitutive GFP expression, Figure 9, is scanned. The resulting image of this scanning is in Figure 10. </p><br />

<center>Video 1: Impression of the Zephyr scanning the calibration text.</center><br />
<br />
The Zephyr was displayed on the <a href="https://2013.igem.org/Team:TU-Delft/Summer_Festival" tager="blank">Discovery Festival</a> to the public, good discussions took place on the mechanism and structure.<br />
<h2 align="center">Discussion</h2><br />
<p><br />
The selectivity of the Zephyr is good, you only see the expression of GFP, and other fluorescent proteins like RFP do not seem to influence the retrieved image. This is to be expected, since the chosen filters and dichroic mirror are of high quality and are also used in fluorescent microscopy. <br><br><br />
The sensitivity of the system is equally good as the Typhoon. It detects the same concentrations and does not detect the same concentrations. Thus the sensitivity of the imaging of the Zephyr is good.<br><br><br />
The petridish reading is a difficult task and this becomes clear from the pictures. The text stitched together from 625 individual images is not very successful: the rows do not fully overlap. This is a result of the relative measure: the pictures only have information of their displacement with respect to their neighbor, thus errors will add up over a large amount of pictures. In Figure 10, some colonies are clearly visible, however the alignment is not perfect which is due to the same reason. Adding a sensor to help get a better alignment would greatly improve the performance on this scanning. For more on this, see the section ‘future aspirations’.<br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h2 align="center">Conclusions</h2><br />
<p><br />
The selectivity of the Zephyr is good; it is seeing one type of fluorescence protein at a time. The sensitivity is alright, it can still see a low amount of fluorescence (10 nM YOYO dye). The petridish scanning is working, however the images are not stitched together very well, which results in a fuzzy image. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h2 align="center">Future aspirations</h2><br />
<p><br />
Based on these results some improvements can be thought of. The most important one is to improve the petridish reading. This requires a better detection of the displacement. As discussed in the section ‘Explanation of the design choices’, the relative sensing with an accelerometer did not work, probably due to the discontinuous short movements. An alternative to this is using an absolute measurement using a grid. This is schematically shown in Figure 11, where an extra camera is added under the 2D table. This is capturing the grid, so from these images you can find the absolute positions. In this way the image retrieved is more precise. <br><br />
The image stitching in Matlab works well, only it is relatively slow. This is probably due to the recurrent use of the function <b>nanmean</b>, which is not numerical optimal. Thus an improvement to speed up the image stitching would be to make optimize this function numerically. <br />

Every practice room will be equipped with a standard video projector. Please make sure to bring your own computer and appropriate cables to set things up.<br />
<br><br><br />
And last but not least, we are pretty sure that you would not enjoy losing time when you get to the practice room and find out that you have to wait because the previous team is late on schedule, so be sure arrive and leave on time. Thank you.<br />

<p align="justify" >We think we should be awarded with a gold medal because we achieved all the criteria mentioned in the judging form and the criteria setup by iGEM headquarters. We documented, <b>characterized and improved multiple new standard biobricks</b> and submitted these in the iGEM Registry. We designed and characterized a novel approach for the production and expression of proteins that would normally be insoluble or would get caught in inclusion bodies with the submission of our <b>SUMO/Ulp1 system</b>. In addition to the submission of the SUMO/Ulp1 system, we also designed a <b>novel assembly standard</b>. Furthermore, to our knowledge we are the first to show the <b>interspecies communication</b> between a Gram- negative and a Gram- positive species with our AIP receiver GFP system, and the first to characterize the biobrick used to do so. In human practice we contributed by the fact we made it possible for less well funded teams to make their <b>own DIY fluorescent scanner</b> with the designing and publishing of all the technical details of our Zephyr. Besides this we developed a novel approach for the <b>designing of anti-microbial peptides</b>, we determined and proved their functionality, both in their toxicity towards Gram-positives and their lack of it towards mammalian cells. </p><br />

<h2 align="center">How? The Zephyr DIY guide</h2><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
How to make the Zephyr can be broken down in different modules: first the buying of materials and parts, then the making of several parts, assembling them, wiring the electronic circuit, programming the microprocessor, controlling the set-up from the pc and calibrating the image stitching to make a complete image. <br />
</p><br />
<h3 align="center">Part list</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In Table 1 the parts are listed into three categories: optical-, electrical- and mechanical components with a possible online store to buy the components. The plastic PMMA sheets are difficult to acquire online, it usually works the best to contact a local plastic supplier. Most of the mechanical parts can be swapped out for ones with the same dimensions, e.g. the bearings. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Note that in this list only dichroic parts for GFP are listed, for other wavelengths other parts are necessary. The dichroic parts are the excitation- and emission filter and the dichroic mirror itself. For many fluorescent proteins <br />
<a href="http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-filters/bandpass-filters/pre-mounted-fluorescence-filter-cubes/3611" style="text-decoration: none"" target="_blank">Edmund Optics</a> has listed a good choice for these. If your fluorescent protein is not on there, the following guidelines may help you: Find out the emission frequency of your protein, pick the frequency of the 25 mm emission filter as close as possible. Pick the dichroic 25.2 x 35.6mm mirror 20 nm lower than this frequency and the 25 mm excitation filter 40 nm lower than the emission filter. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align ="justify"><br />
In addition to these filters and the mirror, you will also need a high power LED. The emission frequency of this LED should be very close to the frequency of the emission filter. Many of these LEDs are available on <a href="http://www.superbrightleds.com/" target="_blank">superbrightleds.com</a>.<br />

<br />
<h3 align="center">Making of the parts</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In total 41 unique parts must be made out of plastic using laser cutting. <br />
These parts are dived into four categories: A to D. A are the parts of the dichroic holder including the LED holder. B are the parts of the optical holder, C are the frame parts and D are the parts that hold petridishes and the 96 well plates. In the table below the parts are listed with their name and their coding (e.g. B3). <br />
</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
For all these parts technical drawings are available below or bundled in this<a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/2/2f/Zephyr_part_drawings.pdf" target="_blank"> pdf</a>. Note that these are the dimensions that result from using the laser cutting method. <br />

</center><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
So, how to make these parts? For laser cutting the parts to make must usually be supplied a ‘dxf’-format, this is a file containing the 2D structure of the different parts. For all the different parts these files can be found in this <br />
<a href="https://2013.igem.org/File:Individual_dxfs.zip" target="_blank"> zip-file</a>. These digital files can be directly sent to a company that can make them for you or a technician at a university. The three plastic plates will suffice to make all the parts according to the quantity. You will have to ask them to combine them in a smart way for you on the plate. This would look something in Figure 2. <br />

<h3 align="center">Wiring the circuits</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Now that everything is assembled, the electrical circuit must be made. It consists of 4 major components: the Arduino, the motor drivers, the motors and the LED. The LED is connected in series with a resistor to the Arduino, and the motors via the drivers to the Arduino. The total schematic is shown in Figure 6. Note that the motors in one direction are connected in series, since the motion must be the same for these two motors. For example if you want to move the table along the x-axis two motors should move: one pulling the drive belt and one pushing the drive belt. The wiring colors of stepper motors are not uniform, so you will have to do some trial and error to get this working correctly. <br />

<center><br />
Figure 6: Schematic of the electrical system. <br />
</center><br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h3 align="center">Software</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The Arduino controls both the LED, all the motors and communicates with the PC. Attached is the <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/c/c8/Zephyr_software.zip">zip file</a> containing all the software, including the Arduino code file. This file can be uploaded to the Arduino using the Arduino <a href="http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software">software</a>. It starts the scanning at the command of the PC and sends the time instances the photo must be taken. <br />
On the pc, the control software is written in <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng">Visual C++</a>. Upon starting it opens a command window in which the scanning can be started and through which the webcam images are saved in a folder on the hard drive. <br />
</p><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The image processing is done in Matlab in two steps. Our experience shows that the displacements between the pictures are unfortunately not constant. To deal with this we designed stitching software that finds the ROI of pictures and the displacements between pictures and then pastes them together, see for an example Figure 7. The two steps are first a calibration using a text and then the actual scanning using the fluorescent filters. This calibration text is a text with a small font (e.g. 2pt) which allows the stitching program to have enough features to find the correct displacements between the pictures. This scanning is done without the dichroic module (subassembly A) present. An example of this text is in Figure 8, a 5 eurocent coin is added for reference. Once the pattern of displacements is found, the Zephyr can scan the petridish on fluorescence and stitch the images together using this found pattern. <br />

<h2 align="center">How? The Zephyr DIY guide</h2><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
How to make the Zephyr can be broken down in different modules: first the buying of materials and parts, then the making of several parts, assembling them, wiring the electronic circuit, programming the microprocessor, controlling the set-up from the pc and calibrating the image stitching to make a complete image. <br />
</p><br />
<h3 align="center">Part list</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In Table 1 the parts are listed into three categories: optical-, electrical- and mechanical components with a possible online store to buy the components. The plastic PMMA sheets are difficult to acquire online, it usually works the best to contact a local plastic supplier. Most of the mechanical parts can be swapped out for ones with the same dimensions, e.g. the bearings. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Note that in this list only dichroic parts for GFP are listed, for other wavelengths other parts are necessary. The dichroic parts are the excitation- and emission filter and the dichroic mirror itself. For many fluorescent proteins <br />
<a href="http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-filters/bandpass-filters/pre-mounted-fluorescence-filter-cubes/3611" style="text-decoration: none"" target="_blank">Edmund Optics</a> has listed a good choice for these. If your fluorescent protein is not on there, the following guidelines may help you: Find out the emission frequency of your protein, pick the frequency of the 25 mm emission filter as close as possible. Pick the dichroic 25.2 x 35.6mm mirror 20 nm lower than this frequency and the 25 mm excitation filter 40 nm lower than the emission filter. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align ="justify"><br />
In addition to these filters and the mirror, you will also need a high power LED. The emission frequency of this LED should be very close to the frequency of the emission filter. Many of these LEDs are available on <a href="http://www.superbrightleds.com/" target="_blank">superbrightleds.com</a>.<br />

<h3 align="center">Making of the parts</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In total 41 unique parts must be made out of plastic using laser cutting. <br />
These parts are dived into four categories: A to D. A are the parts of the dichroic holder including the LED holder. B are the parts of the optical holder, C are the frame parts and D are the parts that hold petridishes and the 96 well plates. In the table below the parts are listed with their name and their coding (e.g. B3). <br />
</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
For all these parts technical drawings are available below or bundled in this<a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/2/2f/Zephyr_part_drawings.pdf" target="_blank"> pdf</a>. Note that these are the dimensions that result from using the laser cutting method. <br />

</p><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
So, how to make these parts? For laser cutting the parts to make must usually be supplied a ‘dxf’-format, this is a file containing the 2D structure of the different parts. For all the different parts these files can be found in this <br />
<a href="https://2013.igem.org/File:Individual_dxfs.zip" target="_blank"> zip-file</a>. These digital files can be directly sent to a company that can make them for you or a technician at a university. The three plastic plates will suffice to make all the parts according to the quantity. You will have to ask them to combine them in a smart way for you on the plate. This would look something in Figure 2. <br />
<br><br />

<p align="justify"><br />
After these parts are cut, all the A and B parts must be painted. Paint both of the sides like in Figure 4, this will prevent reflection of light inside the optical tube and interference of outside light. <br />
<br><br />

<h3 align="center">Wiring the circuits</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Now that everything is assembled, the electrical circuit must be made. It consists of 4 major components: the Arduino, the motor drivers, the motors and the LED. The LED is connected in series with a resistor to the Arduino, and the motors via the drivers to the Arduino. The total schematic is shown in Figure 6. Note that the motors in one direction are connected in series, since the motion must be the same for these two motors. For example if you want to move the table along the x-axis two motors should move: one pulling the drive belt and one pushing the drive belt. The wiring colors of stepper motors are not uniform, so you will have to do some trial and error to get this working correctly. <br />

</center><br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h3 align="center">Software</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The Arduino controls both the LED, all the motors and communicates with the PC. Attached is the <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/c/c8/Zephyr_software.zip">zip file</a> containing all the software, including the Arduino code file. This file can be uploaded to the Arduino using the Arduino <a href="http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software">software</a>. It starts the scanning at the command of the PC and sends the time instances the photo must be taken. <br />
On the pc, the control software is written in <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng">Visual C++</a>. Upon starting it opens a command window in which the scanning can be started and through which the webcam images are saved in a folder on the hard drive. <br />
</p><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The image processing is done in Matlab in two steps. Our experience shows that the displacements between the pictures are unfortunately not constant. To deal with this we designed stitching software that finds the ROI of pictures and the displacements between pictures and then pastes them together, see for an example Figure 7. The two steps are first a calibration using a text and then the actual scanning using the fluorescent filters. This calibration text is a text with a small font (e.g. 2pt) which allows the stitching program to have enough features to find the correct displacements between the pictures. This scanning is done without the dichroic module (subassembly A) present. An example of this text is in Figure 8, a 5 eurocent coin is added for reference. Once the pattern of displacements is found, the Zephyr can scan the petridish on fluorescence and stitch the images together using this found pattern. <br />

<h2 align="center">How? The Zephyr DIY guide</h2><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
How to make the Zephyr can be broken down in different modules: first the buying of materials and parts, then the making of several parts, assembling them, wiring the electronic circuit, programming the microprocessor, controlling the set-up from the pc and calibrating the image stitching to make a complete image. <br />
</p><br />
<h3 align="center">Part list</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In Table 1 the parts are listed into three categories: optical-, electrical- and mechanical components with a possible online store to buy the components. The plastic PMMA sheets are difficult to acquire online, it usually works the best to contact a local plastic supplier. Most of the mechanical parts can be swapped out for ones with the same dimensions, e.g. the bearings. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Note that in this list only dichroic parts for GFP are listed, for other wavelengths other parts are necessary. The dichroic parts are the excitation- and emission filter and the dichroic mirror itself. For many fluorescent proteins <br />
<a href="http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-filters/bandpass-filters/pre-mounted-fluorescence-filter-cubes/3611" style="text-decoration: none"" target="_blank">Edmund Optics</a> has listed a good choice for these. If your fluorescent protein is not on there, the following guidelines may help you: Find out the emission frequency of your protein, pick the frequency of the 25 mm emission filter as close as possible. Pick the dichroic 25.2 x 35.6mm mirror 20 nm lower than this frequency and the 25 mm excitation filter 40 nm lower than the emission filter. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align ="justify"><br />
In addition to these filters and the mirror, you will also need a high power LED. The emission frequency of this LED should be very close to the frequency of the emission filter. Many of these LEDs are available on <a href="http://www.superbrightleds.com/" target="_blank">superbrightleds.com</a>.<br />

<h3 align="center">Making of the parts</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In total 41 unique parts must be made out of plastic using laser cutting. <br />
These parts are dived into four categories: A to D. A are the parts of the dichroic holder including the LED holder. B are the parts of the optical holder, C are the frame parts and D are the parts that hold petridishes and the 96 well plates. In the table below the parts are listed with their name and their coding (e.g. B3). <br />
</p><br />

<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
For all these parts technical drawings are available below or bundled in this<a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/2/2f/Zephyr_part_drawings.pdf" target="_blank"> pdf</a>. Note that these are the dimensions that result from using the laser cutting method. <br />

</p><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
So, how to make these parts? For laser cutting the parts to make must usually be supplied a ‘dxf’-format, this is a file containing the 2D structure of the different parts. For all the different parts these files can be found in this <br />
<a href="https://2013.igem.org/File:Individual_dxfs.zip" target="_blank"> zip-file</a>. These digital files can be directly sent to a company that can make them for you or a technician at a university. The three plastic plates will suffice to make all the parts according to the quantity. You will have to ask them to combine them in a smart way for you on the plate. This would look something in Figure 2. <br />
<br><br />

<p align="justify"><br />
After these parts are cut, all the A and B parts must be painted. Paint both of the sides like in Figure 4, this will prevent reflection of light inside the optical tube and interference of outside light. <br />

The assembly is described in the images below in a step-wise manner. Before starting, the webcam must be modified and the LED wired, see the file on preparation. After this it is sequentially assembling A, B and C. <br />

<h3 align="center">Wiring the circuits</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Now that everything is assembled, the electrical circuit must be made. It consists of 4 major components: the Arduino, the motor drivers, the motors and the LED. The LED is connected in series with a resistor to the Arduino, and the motors via the drivers to the Arduino. The total schematic is shown in Figure 6. Note that the motors in one direction are connected in series, since the motion must be the same for these two motors. For example if you want to move the table along the x-axis two motors should move: one pulling the drive belt and one pushing the drive belt. The wiring colors of stepper motors are not uniform, so you will have to do some trial and error to get this working correctly. <br />

<br />
<h3 align="center">Software</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The Arduino controls both the LED, all the motors and communicates with the PC. Attached is the <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/c/c8/Zephyr_software.zip">zip file</a> containing all the software, including the Arduino code file. This file can be uploaded to the Arduino using the Arduino <a href="http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software">software</a>. It starts the scanning at the command of the PC and sends the time instances the photo must be taken. <br />
On the pc, the control software is written in <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng">Visual C++</a>. Upon starting it opens a command window in which the scanning can be started and through which the webcam images are saved in a folder on the hard drive. <br />

The image processing is done in Matlab in two steps. Our experience shows that the displacements between the pictures are unfortunately not constant. To deal with this we designed stitching software that finds the ROI of pictures and the displacements between pictures and then pastes them together, see for an example Figure 7. The two steps are first a calibration using a text and then the actual scanning using the fluorescent filters. This calibration text is a text with a small font (e.g. 2pt) which allows the stitching program to have enough features to find the correct displacements between the pictures. This scanning is done without the dichroic module (subassembly A) present. An example of this text is in Figure 8, a 5 eurocent coin is added for reference. Once the pattern of displacements is found, the Zephyr can scan the petridish on fluorescence and stitch the images together using this found pattern. <br />

<h2 align="center">How? The Zephyr DIY guide</h2><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
How to make the Zephyr can be broken down in different modules: first the buying of materials and parts, then the making of several parts, assembling them, wiring the electronic circuit, programming the microprocessor, controlling the set-up from the pc and calibrating the image stitching to make a complete image. <br />
</p><br />
<h3 align="center">Part list</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In Table 1 the parts are listed into three categories: optical-, electrical- and mechanical components with a possible online store to buy the components. The plastic PMMA sheets are difficult to acquire online, it usually works the best to contact a local plastic supplier. Most of the mechanical parts can be swapped out for ones with the same dimensions, e.g. the bearings. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Note that in this list only dichroic parts for GFP are listed, for other wavelengths other parts are necessary. The dichroic parts are the excitation- and emission filter and the dichroic mirror itself. For many fluorescent proteins <br />
<a href="http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-filters/bandpass-filters/pre-mounted-fluorescence-filter-cubes/3611" style="text-decoration: none"" target="_blank">Edmund Optics</a> has listed a good choice for these. If your fluorescent protein is not on there, the following guidelines may help you: Find out the emission frequency of your protein, pick the frequency of the 25 mm emission filter as close as possible. Pick the dichroic 25.2 x 35.6mm mirror 20 nm lower than this frequency and the 25 mm excitation filter 40 nm lower than the emission filter. <br />
</p><br />
<br />
<p align ="justify"><br />
In addition to these filters and the mirror, you will also need a high power LED. The emission frequency of this LED should be very close to the frequency of the emission filter. Many of these LEDs are available on <a href="http://www.superbrightleds.com/" target="_blank">superbrightleds.com</a>.<br />

<br />
<h3 align="center">Making of the parts</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
In total 41 unique parts must be made out of plastic using laser cutting. <br />
These parts are dived into four categories: A to D. A are the parts of the dichroic holder including the LED holder. B are the parts of the optical holder, C are the frame parts and D are the parts that hold petridishes and the 96 well plates. In the table below the parts are listed with their name and their coding (e.g. B3). <br />
</p><br />
<br><br />

<br />
<p align="justify"><br />
For all these parts technical drawings are available below or bundled in this<a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/2/2f/Zephyr_part_drawings.pdf" target="_blank"> pdf</a>. Note that these are the dimensions that result from using the laser cutting method. <br />

</p><br />
</center><br />
<br />
<br><br />
<br><br />
So, how to make these parts? For laser cutting the parts to make must usually be supplied a ‘dxf’-format, this is a file containing the 2D structure of the different parts. For all the different parts these files can be found in this <br />
<a href="https://2013.igem.org/File:Individual_dxfs.zip" target="_blank"> zip-file</a>. These digital files can be directly sent to a company that can make them for you or a technician at a university. The three plastic plates will suffice to make all the parts according to the quantity. You will have to ask them to combine them in a smart way for you on the plate. This would look something in Figure 2. <br />
<br><br />

After these parts are cut, all the A and B parts must be painted. Paint both of the sides like in Figure 4, this will prevent reflection of light inside the optical tube and interference of outside light. <br />

<br><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The assembly is described in the images below in a step-wise manner. Before starting, the webcam must be modified and the LED wired, see the file on preparation. After this it is sequentially assembling A, B and C. <br />

<br><br />
<h3 align="center">Wiring the circuits</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
Now that everything is assembled, the electrical circuit must be made. It consists of 4 major components: the Arduino, the motor drivers, the motors and the LED. The LED is connected in series with a resistor to the Arduino, and the motors via the drivers to the Arduino. The total schematic is shown in Figure 6. Note that the motors in one direction are connected in series, since the motion must be the same for these two motors. For example if you want to move the table along the x-axis two motors should move: one pulling the drive belt and one pushing the drive belt. The wiring colors of stepper motors are not uniform, so you will have to do some trial and error to get this working correctly. <br />

<center><br />
Figure 6: Schematic of the electrical system. <br />
</center><br />
</p><br />
<br />
<h3 align="center">Software</h3><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The Arduino controls both the LED, all the motors and communicates with the PC. Attached is the <a href="https://static.igem.org/mediawiki/2013/c/c8/Zephyr_software.zip">zip file</a> containing all the software, including the Arduino code file. This file can be uploaded to the Arduino using the Arduino <a href="http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software">software</a>. It starts the scanning at the command of the PC and sends the time instances the photo must be taken. <br />
On the pc, the control software is written in <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng">Visual C++</a>. Upon starting it opens a command window in which the scanning can be started and through which the webcam images are saved in a folder on the hard drive. <br />
</p><br />
<p align="justify"><br />
The image processing is done in Matlab in two steps. Our experience shows that the displacements between the pictures are unfortunately not constant. To deal with this we designed stitching software that finds the ROI of pictures and the displacements between pictures and then pastes them together, see for an example Figure 7. The two steps are first a calibration using a text and then the actual scanning using the fluorescent filters. This calibration text is a text with a small font (e.g. 2pt) which allows the stitching program to have enough features to find the correct displacements between the pictures. This scanning is done without the dichroic module (subassembly A) present. An example of this text is in Figure 8, a 5 eurocent coin is added for reference. Once the pattern of displacements is found, the Zephyr can scan the petridish on fluorescence and stitch the images together using this found pattern. <br />

<p>We think we should be awarded with a gold medal because we achieved all the criteria mentioned in the judging form and the criteria setup by iGEM headquarters. We documented, <b>characterized and improved multiple new standard biobricks</b> and submitted these in the iGEM Registry. We designed and characterized a novel approach for the production and expression of proteins that would normally be insoluble or would get caught in inclusion bodies with the submission of our <b>SUMO/Ulp1 system</b>. To our knowledge we are also the first to show the <b>interspecies communication</b> between a Gram- negative and a Gram- positive species with our AIP receiver GFP system, and the first to characterize the biobrick used to do so. In human practice we contributed by the fact we made it possible for less well funded teams to make their <b>own DIY fluorescent scanner</b> with the designing and publishing of all the technical details of our Zephyr. Besides this we developed a novel approach for the <b>designing of anti-microbial peptides</b>, we determined and proved their functionality, both in their toxicity towards Gram-positives and their lack of it towards mammalian cells. </p><br />

<p>We think we should be awarded with a gold medal because we achieved all the criteria mentioned in the judging form and the criteria setup by iGEM headquarters. We documented, characterized and improved multiple new standard biobricks and submitted these in the iGEM Registry. We designed and characterized a novel approach for the production and expression of proteins that would normally be insoluble or would get caught in inclusion bodies with the submission of our SUMO/Ulp1 system. To our knowledge we are also the first to show the interspecies communication between a Gram- negative and a Gram- positive species with our AIP receiver GFP system, and the first to characterize the biobrick used to do so. In human practice we contributed by the fact we made it possible for less well funded teams to make their own plate reader and gel scanner with the designing and publishing of all the technical details of our Zephyr. Besides this we developed a novel approach for the designing of anti-microbial peptides, we determined and proved their functionality, both in their toxicity towards Gram-positives and their lack of it towards mammalian cells. </p><br />

<p>We think we should be awarded with a gold medal because we achieved all the criteria mentioned in the judging form and the criteria setup by iGEM headquarters. We documented, characterized and improved multiple new standard biobricks and submitted these in the iGEM Registry. We designed and characterized a novel approach for the production and expression of proteins that would normally be insoluble or would get caught in inclusion bodies with the submission of our SUMO/Ulp1 system. To our knowledge we are also the first to show the interspecies communication between a Gram- negative and a Gram- positive species with our AIP receiver GFP system, and the first to characterize the biobrick used to do so. In human practice we contributed by the fact we made it possible for less well funded teams to make their own plate reader and gel scanner with the designing and publishing of all the technical details of our Zephyr. Besides this we developed a novel approach for the designing of anti-microbial peptides, we determined and proved their functionality, both in their toxicity towards Gram-positives and their lack of it towards mammalian cells. </p><br />
