Izikole zamaqembu nezikhungo zemfundo ezine- amathuluzi afanele ama-laboratories Kuyinto ethi kuyabiza kakhulu. Leli qiniso limelela isithiyo ekufundiseni kulezo zikhungo ezingenazo izinsizakusebenza ezidingekayo zokwenza lokho. Iningi le- izikole emhlabeni jikelele azikwazi ukufinyelela okokusebenza kwesayensi lokho kungasetshenziselwa ukufundisa, ukuqeqesha nokucwaninga.
Manje, nokho, ngenxa yocwaningo lwabaphenyi baseYunivesithi yaseTübingen eJalimane kanye neYunivesithi yaseSussex e-United Kingdom, enye indlela enezindleko eziphansi usebenzisa ukuphrinta kwe-3D nama-microcomputer.
Iphrojekthi yocwaningo, esanda kushicilelwa ephephabhukwini i-Plos Biology, ichaza kabanzi ukuthi ithimba lososayensi bezinzwa likwazi kanjani ukusebenzisa ukuphrinta kwe-3D kanye nama-microcomputer ukwenza imicroscope ebiza kakhulu kanye nohlelo lokuthwebula olungasetshenziswa ezikoleni nasemalabhorethri emhlabeni jikelele. .
Ubizwa I-FlyPi, le phrojekthi ingumthombo ovulekile ngokuphelele futhi ingenziwa ngo- € 100 ($ 116). Uma kuqhathaniswa nemishini ejwayelekile yelabhorethri, engabiza ngaphezu kwezinkulungwane zamaRandi.
El I-FlyPi ifaka uchungechunge lwe Izingxenye eziphrintiwe ze-3D, i-Raspberry Pi microcomputer nenqwaba yamasekethe kagesi aphansi aphansinjengama-LED nama-webcam. Uma isihlanganisiwe, ingasetshenziswa ngezicelo ezahlukahlukene zelebhu, kufaka phakathi i-optogenetics (ukulawula amaseli ngokukhanya), izifundo zokuziphatha zezilwane ezincane (izimpukane zezithelo, izibungu ze-zebrafish, ngokwesibonelo).
UTom Baden, isazi sezinzwa e-University of Sussex, no-André Maia Chagas, umbhali oholayo wocwaningo, bachaze: 'Kumele uvakashele amanyuvesi amaningi Izwekazi lase-Afrika, ukubona ukuthi imishini yezikhungo iyasilela. Kukhona ama-microscopes, kepha kunabantu abaningi kakhulu kunama-microscopes ".
El iphrojekthi okwamanje iku- isigaba sokuqala futhi intuthuko eyengeziwe iyadingeka ukuthola ukuthi yiziphi izingxenye zemicroscope kanye ne-imaging system ezingashintshelwa izingxenye ezingambi eqolo futhi ekugcineni bathole ukuthi izinto ezinjenge-LED kanye namakhamera wewebhu zingasebenza esikhundleni sezingxenye zendabuko ezibiza kakhulu.
Lapho benza i-FlyPi, ososayensi bakhuthazwa yi Umphakathi womenzi, ebilokhu isebenzisa ukuphrinta kwe-3D, ama-microcontroller nama-microcomputer njengezinsizakusebenza iminyaka. Le filosofi ivumele ukwenziwa kwezindlela eziningi ezingabizi kakhulu kumadivayisi namathuluzi abizayo.
UBaden neqembu lakhe nabo bakhethe ukuzigcina uphenyo oluvuleke ngokuphelele, okusho ukuthi cishe noma ngubani angaphindaphinda imodeli yakho yesibonakhulu. "Umzamo oqhutshwa ngumphakathi," esho. Abantu abaningi ababamba iqhaza, imiklamo engcono esizoyithola «.
