FlyPi paper out in PloS Biology
We are excited that our paper on FlyPi, a low-cost 3-D printable microscope and behavioural rig, is fresh out in PLoS Biology. Still barely scratching the surface of what is possible! Build one, improve it and reshare! #OpenSource
All documentation needed to build one is obviously included in the paper, and more info can be found on the dedicated project repositories:
