Growth of a low-cost smartphone fluorescence microscope
As a body to assist a smartphone or pill for fluorescence viewing, we tailored a do-it-yourself microscope design used extensively for non-fluorescent imaging3,4. This body consisted of a plexiglass platform to carry a smartphone (or pill) atop the specimen (Fig. 1a). A second

Elements proven embrace the smartphone, clip-on lens (black), glowscope body (grey), stage and viewing platform (clear), petri dish containing a specimen, and a LED work lamp positioned underneath the stage and viewing platform. (b) Picture view utilizing a smartphone digital camera with out the clip-on lens reveals zebrafish embryos (blue arrow, 3 dpf). An ordinary pencil (eraser facet) is proven as a measurement reference. (c) Picture view utilizing the extra clip-on lens reveals the identical zebrafish embryos and pencil eraser seen in panel (b). Pictures proven in panels (b–c) are native magnification (not stretched) as seen on live-view, acquired utilizing an Apple iPhone 12 Professional with 1x (center magnification) lens, 6 × digital zoom.
plexiglass platform positioned beneath the smartphone lens served as a stage to carry the specimen. The adjustable peak of the plexiglass stage ensured the flexibility to deal with the specimen. Wooden or composite boards, nuts, bolts, and washers held the plexiglass platform and stage in place. For non-fluorescent imaging, a battery-powered LED work lamp positioned beneath the specimen supplied further gentle when ambient room lighting was inadequate (Fig. 1a).
To extend magnification and backbone past the smartphone or pill alone, an extra ‘clip-on’ macro lens was clamped over the cellphone or pill digital camera (Fig. 1a, c). The extra clip-on lens used on this examine supplied roughly fivefold magnification (Fig. 1b–c). This magnitude trusted the space the specimen was positioned from the clip-on lens. When viewing embryonic zebrafish (2–4 days post-fertilization), that are roughly equal to the size of a pencil eraser (2–3 mm in size), the elevated magnification and picture decision made options of the zebrafish physique plan simply noticed. For instance, anatomical constructions together with the attention, coronary heart, yolk, and tail have been simply noticed on the dwell show utilizing the clip-on lens (Fig. 1c). Utilizing USAF check targets, we measured 9.8 µm decision utilizing an iPhone 11 digital camera with the added clip-on lens. This corresponded to vital enhancements to picture decision and anatomical element in dwell view or after picture acquisition. After photographs have been captured and digitally stretched to additional amplify on a smartphone or laptop computer display, the clip-on lens simply resolved anatomical constructions and even particular person pigment cells (melanocytes). As compared, with out the clip-on lens, these identical options have been troublesome or inconceivable to view (Supplementary Fig. S1).
To equip the smartphone scope with fluorescence imaging functionality, we subsequent added fluorescence gentle sources and filters. To view specimens with inexperienced fluorescence, we turned off the LED work gentle and as a substitute used a blue LED headlamp or flashlight (Fig. 2a). We used theater stage lighting filters to dam the blue gentle from reaching the digital camera lens. To take action, we positioned the filter instantly beneath the clip-on lens and smartphone (Fig. 2a). These cheap ‘emission filters’ diminished fluorescence background from the blue flashlight whereas allowing the inexperienced fluorescence from the specimen to go by the filter and attain the digital camera. We initially obtained a sample-pack of theater stage lighting filters with a variety of spectral properties. After testing quite a few filter coloration choices, we discovered that the mix of

Rosco #14 and #312 stage-lighting filters successfully blocked blue gentle whereas enabling sturdy inexperienced fluorescence sign to transmit by to the digital camera (Fig. 2a). To check the performance of this setup, we used transgenic zebrafish reporter strains that expressed enhanced inexperienced fluorescent protein (EGFP) in subsets of tissues or neural cells. For instance, the fluorescence setup simply detected mind and spinal wire fluorescence in Tg(nkx2.2a:memGFP) embryos, cardiac tissue in Tg(myl7:EGFP) embryos, and had satisfactory sensitivity to detect EGFP expressed in a sub-region of the embryonic hindbrain in Tg(phox2b:EGFP) embryos (Fig. 2b–d). To additional cut back background fluorescence and improve the sign:noise ratio, we added Rosco filter 4990 positioned between the blue LED flashlight and the specimen (Fig. 2a). Anecdotally, this ‘excitation’ filter darkened the in any other case blue-green background with negligible lack of inexperienced fluorescence emitted and transmitted to the smartphone digital camera and seen picture. Utilizing a Vernier spectrometer, we discovered that the added excitation filter barely diminished the depth of LED fluorescence between 460 – 500 nm (Fig. 2f–g). This will likely clarify the diminished blue background fluorescence on the seen photographs when R4990 excitation filter was used. Although this extra excitation filter isn’t mandatory for inexperienced fluorescence viewing, it could successfully cut back background and enhance the sign:noise ratio when viewing specimens with dim fluorescence. To additional assess the profile of the blue LED headlamp, we measured present draw at 2.5 A and light-weight depth at 492 lx. These measurements are inside the vary that warrants prevention of extended and direct eye publicity (see ‘Dialogue‘).
We additionally examined LEDs and stage lighting filters for viewing pink fluorescence (Fig. 3). Instead of a blue flashlight, we as a substitute used a inexperienced LED flashlight. As an emission filter positioned beneath the lens, we used Rosco stage lighting filter #19 to dam inexperienced gentle whereas allowing pink fluorescence to go by to the digital camera lens (Fig. 3a). In our palms, this emission filter labored finest when doubled up, and supplied clear fluorescence viewing of transgenic zebrafish strains expressing pink fluorescent proteins. As examples, this setup successfully illuminated mind and spinal wire options of Tg(olig2:DsRed) embryos, coronary heart fluorescence in Tg(myl7:mCherry) embryos, and head and jaw skeleton (cranial neural crest) fluorescence in Tg(sox10:mRFP) embryos (Fig. 3b–d). The LED flashlight we used marketed 530 nm LED excitation, which among the many fluorophores we used, aligned finest with the spectral properties of DsRed. In our palms, the inexperienced flashlight and Rosco stage lighting filters in reality paired finest with DsRed, however considerably much less nicely with the red-shifted fluorescent proteins mRFP and mCherry (Fig. 3b–d). Background fluorescence and sign:noise ratio have been marginally improved by protecting the flashlight with Rosco filters #88 and #89 (Fig. 3a). This excitation filtering diminished fluorescence depth at wavelengths between 540 – 580 nm (Fig. 3f–g) and will clarify the decreased background fluorescence noticed in acquired photographs when the excitation filters have been used. Though the excitation filters #88 and #89 improved picture high quality and detection of dim fluorescence, they weren’t mandatory for pink fluorescence imaging in our palms.

Abstract of glowscope parts, price, and smartphone compatibility
The elements wanted to transform a smartphone or pill right into a fluorescence microscope are summarized in Fig. 4. On the time of our testing and manuscript preparation, the mandatory elements have been acquired for a complete of $30–50 USD per particular person glowscope (Fig. 4a). Wooden and plexiglass have been reduce and drilled with primary instruments. Theater stage lighting filters have been bought in massive sheets and reduce to measurement, leading to a price of lower than $0.10 USD per unit filter for this software. Blue and inexperienced LED flashlights have been available from on-line retailers as bought for tactical, searching, and fishing functions. We examined quite a few choices and located that these with blue reasonably than UV gentle labored finest for viewing inexperienced fluorescent protein. Our most well-liked gentle supply was a multi-color tactical flashlight with each blue (454 nm) and inexperienced (530 nm) colours, which retailed for $20 USD on the time these research have been carried out. By contacting sellers instantly and buying in bulk, we organized for direct buying at wholesale price (~ 50% low cost). Extra particulars for elements and construct directions may be discovered within the Supplementary Strategies.

(b) Consultant photographs of Tg(phox2b:EGFP) zebrafish embryos reveal compatibility with all units examined, however refined variations between numerous tablets and smartphones used for testing. Scale bar is 1 mm.
To evaluate glowscope compatibility with completely different digital camera units, we subsequent examined the fluorescence viewing capabilities utilizing numerous smartphone and pill fashions to detect inexperienced fluorescence in Tg(phox2b:EGFP) embryos. Of the inexperienced reporter strains initially examined (Fig. 2b–d), Tg(phox2b:EGFP) was essentially the most difficult to view as a result of the inexperienced fluorescence expression is simply current in a part of the embryonic hindbrain. All units examined, together with Samsung, Apple, Google, and Motorola telephones and tablets, detected the refined inexperienced fluorescence within the hindbrain (Fig. 4b). Newer units usually acquired fluorescence photographs with brighter inexperienced intensities compared to the background fluorescence, however these variations have been refined. We conclude that use of the most recent smartphone or pill fashions isn’t mandatory for glowscope fluorescence viewing.
Glowscope dedication of embryonic zebrafish coronary heart charge and rhythmicity
We subsequent examined the flexibility of the glowscope to detect modifications to coronary heart charge and rhythmicity utilizing inexperienced fluorescence imaging in embryonic zebrafish. As a result of the Tg(myl7:EGFP) reporter expresses inexperienced fluorescence in cardiomyocytes, the glowscope and dwell smartphone show made the beating coronary heart chamber actions clearly observable over time (Fig. 5a). To find out if the imaging setup was able to detecting drug-induced modifications to coronary heart charge, we carried out pre- and post-viewing earlier than and after 30 min therapy with astemizole (Fig. 5b). Previously branded as Hismanal, astemizole was generally used as an antihistamine allergy medicine, however was pulled from the market in 1999 as a result of it triggered uncommon however deadly coronary heart issues similar to lengthy QT syndrome, cardiac arrythmias, and life-threatening tachycardia15. These human unwanted side effects have been triggered as a result of astemizole blocks ERG-type Okay+ channels concerned in repolarizing the cardiac motion potential16 along with its antihistamine mode of motion. Earlier research have demonstrated that astemizole therapy causes dose- and time-dependent bradycardia adopted by eventual atrioventricular 2:1 block (arrythmia) and cardiac arrest in zebrafish embryos17. Utilizing smartphone fluorescence viewing of Tg(myl7:EGFP) zebrafish in real-time, we detected a big discount to coronary heart charge following 30 min astemizole therapy (Fig. 5b–c). This drug treatment-induced bradycardia was equally noticed whereas recording the video (dwell view), by observing the recorded video in playback on the smartphone show display, or by transferring the video recording to view on a laptop computer show (Fig. 5d).

For panels (c–d), scatter plot factors symbolize particular person zebrafish (coronary heart) charge measurements and error bars symbolize normal deviation.
To additional check the capabilities and limitations of smartphone fluorescence, we subsequent assessed the flexibility to individually resolve atrium and ventricle chamber contractility charges, which we predicted might be useful to detect cardiac arrythmias. On most video recordings we captured, particular person chamber actions have been clearly seen on some however not all embryos and pushed the constraints of the glowscope. To reinforce the readability and detection of chamber actions, we transferred the smartphone movies to a pc working the freely accessible software program ImageJ (also referred to as Fiji). Inside Fiji, the ‘discover edges’ command supplied a easy means to stipulate the sides of the center chambers and their actions over time (Fig. 6a–c). By monitoring fluorescence depth modifications particularly inside a small area of curiosity (ROI) field, we detected oscillating coronary heart chamber wall actions out and in of the ROI over time (Fig. 6c–d). This methodology supplied clear separation of atrial and ventricular contractility charges utilizing the smartphone system (Fig. 6c–d). Plots generated from movies recorded earlier than and after astemizole therapy displayed notable variations. Previous to therapy, each chambers beat quickly and in an alternating sample. As compared, 30min therapy with a excessive dose of astemizole (30 µM) triggered extreme bradycardia and arrythmia, as evidenced by the ventricle stalling throughout each different atrium beat (Fig. 6d).

Optimized lighting for non-fluorescent imaging
Along with its use for fluorescence microscopy, the glowscope body and clip-on lens can be helpful for viewing non-fluorescent specimens, and has been extensively utilized in some science outreach settings3,4. In our palms, a LED work lamp positioned beneath the specimen labored nicely for clear specimens similar to zebrafish embryos and larvae (Figs. 1, 2, Supplementary Fig. S2). Acknowledging that transmitted gentle could also be ineffective for viewing non-transparent specimens, we subsequent in contrast different lighting choices for each clear and non-transparent specimens. When viewing specimens similar to tadpoles or bugs, we discovered that positioning the sunshine beside or above (epi-illumination) the specimen was advantageous (Supplementary Fig. S2). Both choice might be achieved by holding the LED work lamp on the desired place by hand. As a extra handy choice for epi-illumination, we re-purposed USB-powered COB LED strip lights (see Supplementary Strategies). These cheap lights are usually bought for family cupboard and closet lighting and have adhesive (tape) backing, which enabled us to connect them underneath the plexiglass instantly atop the specimen (Supplementary Fig. S2). These different lighting choices could also be helpful when specimen-type versatility is desired however weren’t mandatory for our viewing of embryonic and larval zebrafish.
Use of glowscope units for science schooling and outreach
Glowscopes could also be appropriate for some analysis functions, however our major motivator for its growth was to fulfill the wants of science educators and outreach packages. In america, suggestions for all times science schooling on the Okay-12 and undergraduate ranges contain rising hands-on energetic studying18. These suggestions deemphasize lecture-based info switch as a sole means for pupil studying, and as a substitute counsel that college students be taught science by iteratively performing the scientific methodology themselves. An inherent problem of this pedagogical transformation is the elevated stress on lecturers to develop new hands-on studying actions which can be participating and assist the discipline-based studying targets. The glowscope could also be one in every of many instruments that’s price range pleasant, pursuits and excites college students, and may assist hands-on studying in school rooms. To help its choice, movies documenting its use and meeting instruction can be found on a glowscopes channel hosted on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoRglCdvrtqwkBcvP10ibDg.
To evaluate potential alternatives for its use, we first examined the Okay-12 Subsequent Era Science Requirements (NGSS). We recognized NGSS disciplinary core concepts appropriate with glowscope use at grade ranges 1, 3, MS (center faculty, grades 6–8), and HS (highschool, grades 9–12), and developed a desk of proposed pupil studying actions at every of those ranges (Supplementary Tables S1–S3). Inside these tables, proposed pupil studying actions depend on glowscopes in numerous methods. For instance, some actions use fluorescence whereas others use non-fluorescent viewing. Preliminary use of glowscopes with out fluorescence might higher put together customers for later fluorescence use, which is extra technically difficult. Many actions suggest use of zebrafish embryos, however different organisms can be utilized whether or not regionally collected or bought from organic suppliers. If use of zebrafish embryos is desired, educators ought to concentrate on www.zfin.org as a way to seek for close by analysis labs already utilizing zebrafish of their space, which can present a chance for native entry to acquire embryos or home adults.
We subsequent carried out a collection of pilot experiments to supply consultant examples of NGSS-compatible pupil studying actions for STEM schooling or outreach. In grade 1, NGSS recommends educators contain college students in making observations in addition to grade-appropriate proficiency in analyzing and deciphering information. We first targeted on the precise core concepts addressing how offspring from the identical dad and mom can range in look, and the sorts of behaviors that assist offspring survive (Supplementary Fig. S3). In these examples, college students use non-fluorescent glowscopes to view animals on a smartphone or pill show and develop tables to report their observations. To handle how offspring behaviors assist them to outlive, we used a pencil to softly contact the embryos, observe their response, and assemble tables for observations and the physique elements concerned in these noticed responses. Though proven for tadpoles and monarch caterpillars (Supplementary Fig. S3), this exercise could be appropriate with zebrafish or many regionally collected bugs or worms. Academics ought to use discretion as as to if handbook dexterity is nicely developed sufficient such that college students can keep away from inflicting pointless hurt to the specimens.
An extra query addressed within the Grade 1 core concepts is how animals seize info wanted for progress and reply in a method that helps them to outlive (Fig. 7a). Zebrafish first get hold of the flexibility to visually observe meals, observe and strike at shifting meals (prey), and use their jaw to eat meals throughout their first week of life19,20. Paramecia are a generally used meals supply for younger zebrafish. These single-celled organisms ‘swim’ in water utilizing cilia to propel their actions. People may be as much as 0.5 mm in size and troublesome to see with the bare eye, however their actions in petri dishes containing zebrafish larvae have been simply noticed utilizing a smartphone with clip-on lens (Fig. 7b). Addition of paramecia to the petri dish containing zebrafish elevated the frequency of swim occasions (Fig. 7c–e). We suggest college students evaluate non-fed with fed petri dishes (containing paramecia) and observe the sorts of behaviors and physique elements used to answer the presence of paramecia (Fig. 7f). These responses are important for progress and survival and contain a number of organismal methods.

In highschool life sciences (grades 9–12), NGSS core concepts deal with genes, inheritance mechanisms, and the impact of each genes and setting on the show of traits. To handle the affect of setting on the show of traits, we developed a method to make use of glowscopes to observe modifications induced by temperature and water acidity. In these studying actions, college students can examine how particular person zebrafish present modifications to embryonic coronary heart charge in response to those environmental stimuli (Supplementary Fig. S4). We reveal easy actions evaluating coronary heart charge earlier than and after being positioned onto a 35 °C reptile pad for 10 min (Supplementary Fig. S4). Fish might also expertise modifications to their setting within the type of water acidity. To mannequin this, we added family vinegar to the water and noticed decreased coronary heart charge after 25-min immersion in acidic water (Supplementary Fig. S4).
Along with observing traits and their dependency on genetics and the setting, NGSS core concepts additionally emphasize mechanisms of genetic inheritance at the highschool stage (Fig. 8a). As a result of transgenes are dominant traits and are inherited in Mendelian patterns, using zebrafish ‘glow traits’ could be a enjoyable and helpful method for college kids to be taught Punnett squares. On this studying exercise, college students are supplied with a number of petri dishes, every containing embryos from completely different parental crosses (Fig. 8b). First, college students observe every dish and the proportion of offspring displaying the ‘glow trait’. College students then develop Punnett squares for all doable parental genotypes, spotlight which offspring genotypes will present dominant phenotypes, after which match their noticed information to a number of Punnett squares. College students can then use their fashions to guage and talk about the doable parental genotypes for every dish of offspring.
