Hardware v2.1🔗

This page will help you to build the v2.1 hardware for a PlanktoScope.

Make an assembly kit🔗

If you do not already have an assembly kit, you will need to make a kit for yourself. Note: you will need to set up the PlanktoScope software on the micro-SD card of your PlanktoScope's Raspberry Pi, as part of the assembly kit.

You should be aware that some of the parts required for the kit, especially the peristaltic pump, are no longer commercially available; you will have to identify alternatives to substitute for those parts.

Assemble a PlanktoScope from a kit🔗

Once you have an assembly kit, you will need to assemble it into a PlanktoScope.

Next steps🔗

Once you have assembled your PlanktoScope, you can proceed to our operation guide to learn how to operate your PlanktoScope.
