Now that you are gaining an understanding on how to manipulate life, it’s about time to consider morality.

Schedule

• Bioethics
• Spectrometer Design
• Practicals
  • Open Lab

Devices

This week we will build a spectrometer. We have created 2 spectrometer designs, you may choose which design to build. The Webcam based device is the simplest.

Webcam-based spectrometer

For fast and easy graphical analysis.

• BHA_Webcam_Spectrophotometer repository

Photodiode array-based photospectrometer

This is a more precise analytical instrument. Why not hack it into a flow cell spectrometer?

• BHA_Spectrophotometer repository
