nmz787kanzure: lithography is done a lot without refractive lenses a lot these days, they get around oil immersion by using diffraction00:35
nmz787err, s/diffraction/interference/00:36
nmz787http://spie.org/x104569.xml00:36
nmz787probably it would be better to have either A) better fab techniques for highly complex 3D shapes00:37
nmz787B) better fab tech that allows gradients of refractive index in materials00:37
nmz787but those are both really hard00:37
nmz787to accomplish00:37
kanzurei don't care about "these days", how about 196200:37
kanzurefuck "these days"00:38
nmz787like, are you going to place every molecule of a lens with a 2-photon development machine?00:38
nmz787and you're also going to mass produce them?00:38

kanzure?00:43
nmz787the whole computed interference thing is hot these days (i almost want to say they call it holography)00:43
kanzurebecause you don't have a darkroom?00:43

kanzurenmz787: i think ray tracing is a good idea before building light microscopes00:53
kanzurealso i think you should be able to get realistic renderings of microscopic images00:54
kanzurebased on your lens and optic train etc00:54
kanzureand then you could rapidly test optics things before buying terrible objectives00:56
nmz787hmm, assuming those objectives have 3d cad files available for your eval00:58
kanzurealso could be used for testing projection photolithography00:58
kanzurewell, brlcad can generate them with the lens routine00:58
kanzurebased on numerical aperature, refractive index, some other parameters i've never heard of00:58
nmz787most objectives are aspeheric00:58
nmz787so you need several coefficients00:58
kanzuredoes edmund give thosae numbers?00:59

nmz787which idk were they chill or like prison01:41
kanzurei'm sure experiences varied between the different ussr/russian science cities01:41
kanzureoh, i bet they were doing 35 mm contact lithography using normal photography stuff01:43
kanzure"The first integrated circuits had features of 200 micrometres which were printed using contact lithography. This technique was popular in the 1960s until it was substituted by proximity printing, where a gap is introduced between the photomask and the substrate. Proximity printing had poorer resolution than contact printing (due to the gap allowing more diffraction to occur) but generated far less defects. The resolution was sufficient for ...01:43
kanzure... down to 2 micrometre production. In 1978, the step-and-repeat projection system appeared. [1]"01:43
kanzurehmm 200 microns.. what's the feature size on normal 35 mm film01:43
kanzure"Summicron 35mm f/2 lens is the king of resolution, rated at 7500 lines/mm"01:48
kanzure"Even ISO 25 film (the finest resolution ever made in 35mm film) has an average Dye Cloud size of 4.9 microns."01:48
kanzure"Fuji 100 ISO slide film the best resolution was about 50 LPM which corresponds to a line thickness of 0.010 mm, 10.0 microns"01:49
kanzure"According to the DP Review review of the TZ3 and to its specification it has horizontal and vertical resolutions of 1575 and 1525 LPH, lines per picture height with a 5.68 x 4.26 mm sensor. Dividing these sizes by the corresponding resolutions gives minimum line thicknesses of 0.00270 mm, 2.70 microns and 0.00279 mm, 2.79 microns."01:50

kanzure"One of the most interesting works describing a new method for fabrication of cheap contact photomasks using photographic films was published by Deng et al. [12]. Computer aided designed (CAD) files were first printed bigger than real size onto paper using an office printer with resolution of 600 dots/in, and then reduced by a 35mm camera to the required dimensions onto 35 mm films. After development, these photographic films were used as ...01:51
kanzure... photomasks in contact photolithography. Even if the resolution claimed by authors is of 15 μm and therefore distant from the few microns resolution needed to fabricate complex microfluidic devices, the procedure is well suited for many medium resolution applications, such those typical required in microfluidics."01:51

kanzure"Additionally, the US Victory Mail, and the British "Airgraph" system it was based on, were used for delivering mail between those at home and troops serving overseas during World War II. The systems worked by photographing large amounts of censored mail reduced to thumb-nail size onto reels of microfilm, which weighed much less than the originals would have. The film reels were shipped by priority air freight to and from the home fronts, ...15:20

These facsimiles of the letter-sheets were reproduced about one-quarter the original size and the miniature mails were then delivered to the addressee. Use of these microfilm systems saved significant volumes of cargo capacity needed for vital war supplies. An additional benefit was that the small, ...15:20

kanzureheath: take a gander at http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/optics/photolithography/17:09
seba-kanzure, couldn't you just use optics from a microscope or something similar, take a bigger photo17:11
seba-shine light17:11
seba-and then just concentrate it17:11
kanzurehere's one that does 200 lines per mm http://www.fujifilmusa.com/shared/bin/NeopanAcros100.pdf (about $70 for 20 sheets) (larger than the previous film)17:11
seba-i think it would work17:11
seba-hm17:11
kanzureseba-: yes, you could use a projector http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/optics/photolithography/DIY%20fabrication%20of%20microstructures%20by%20projection%20photolithography.pdf17:11
seba-but you would have to use colimated light17:12
seba-so that you don't get penumbria or how it's spelled17:12
kanzurethe advantage of using a camera is that you don't need a microscope and you don't need a micromirror array17:12
seba-maybe an UV laser17:12
seba-what17:12
seba-just print17:12
seba-on a laser printer17:12
seba-transparent foil17:12
kanzurelaser printer does not resolve finely enough17:12
seba-yeah17:12
seba-but print big17:12
seba-then use UV leds or some shit17:13
kanzureso you still need the condenser optics, or an entire microscope17:13
seba-and project that image17:13
seba-onto a tiny point17:13
kanzureyes17:14
seba-i don't know if optics of a microscope could work17:14
seba-but if it does17:14
seba-that's super cheap17:14
seba-you just buy russian optics17:14
kanzuretake a look at the link17:14

seba-kanzure, what do you mean?17:58
kanzurespecialty chemicals and reagents are too expensive if you are doing more than one project etc18:00
kanzurealternative is microfluidic production of "fine chemicals"18:00
gradstudentbotIt's contaminated.18:01
seba-kanzure, yes, alfa and applichem are cheaper18:01
seba-btw what sorts of chemicals are you interested in?18:01
kanzureand not all of the vendors will ship to non-lab addresses etc18:01
kanzurewell, dna, and the reagents required for dna synthesis18:01

seba-i see18:02
seba-well we could make an exchange of such stuff18:03
seba-sending 1 g via mail is not a problem18:03
kanzurethat's not repeatable.. once you leave school, everyone you were mailing to is fucked18:04
seba-what do you mean?18:04
kanzureyou mean, you will buy chemicals because you're at a university, and then ship them to other people?18:04
kanzurei'm talking about tiny machines to produce chemicals without shipping hehe18:05
kanzureso far the most complicated chemistry i've seen in microfluidics is dna synthesis18:07
kanzurebut i'm sure there have been non-biology related chemical syntheses done18:08
seba-you can get lots of chemicals off ebay and i can also buy most of them anyway hm but anyway usually you don't want to buy stuff you need like <5 g18:08
kanzurehere's an example (not dna synthesis) (emulsion production) https://www.ibp.ucla.edu/research/rowat/Publications_files/shah.MatToday.2008.pdf18:10

heathusing backbone again is going to take some getting used to: https://github.com/heath/simple-census-web19:26
kanzureapp/lib/ can be replaced by bower things19:27
kanzureso that you don't have to commit third-party dependencies to your git repo19:28
kanzurei also recommend considering browserify for your build task, instead of just coffee, so that you can use normal require() instead of requirejs-style require() https://github.com/heath/simple-census-web/blob/master/app/scripts/main.coffee19:30
kanzureand finally, because i'm a pedantic jerk, i see you have no testing-related task ;)19:31
heath:)19:31
kanzurei think most gulp people are using karma + jasmine + phantomjs for testing, or karmasomething19:32
kanzurekarameltester?19:32
heathi want to replace lib/ with something else for sure, i guess i should try the bower-installer package, https://www.npmjs.org/package/bower-installer19:33
heathiirc, you have been using it for awhile or something like it19:34
kanzurei don't think bower-installer is necessary but i may have been using bower wrong19:34
kanzurebasically with bower (1) after npm install there is a bower install step, (2) there is a bower*.json file that gets committed, (3) bower_components/ goes into .gitignore, (4) build task checks if dependencies need to be bundled up or not and then bundles them with browserify (but doesn't always do this because otherwise it takes forever to scan and parse a few meg of js/css crap) (for this reason i keep it as a separate browserify-related ...19:35
kanzure... task) (others choose not to bundle browserify components, and just keep <script> includes on their index.html)19:36
kanzureoops19:36
kanzure*others choose not to bundle bower components using browserify19:36
heaththanks for the tips, i'll look into browserify and see if there's a way for users to not pull in an entire repo with bower19:42

nmz787i think the beam profile will be OK, the working distance (the angle of the light cone) might be a problem for straight sidewall profile (aspect ratio)21:46
nmz787but then down the ocular has been show to be pretty OK21:47
nmz787was that the blackboxlabs folks?21:47
kanzureprojector plus microscope21:47
nmz787ah21:47
nmz787then it must be a paper21:47
kanzureit was that shitty one-page paper that didn't say anything21:48
kanzureand that youtube video with a projector and some mystery glass pointed at a mounted slide21:48
nmz787i believe that paper has a big brother21:48
nmz787this isn't it but is good http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/paperbot/High%20resolution,%20low%20cost%20laser%20lithography%20using%20a%20Blu-ray%20optical%20head%20assembly.pdf21:55
kanzurethis one? http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/optics/photolithography/A%20maskless%20photolithographic%20prototyping%20system%20using%20a%20low-cost%20consumer%20projector%20and%20a%20microscope.pdf21:55
kanzureor do you mean the single page one21:55
nmz787no if the one i'm thinking exists it was about shoving a laser down a microscope ocular21:56
kanzuresingle page one was http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/optics/photolithography/Low%20cost%20UV%20laser%20direct%20write%20photolithography%20system%20for%20rapid%20prototyping%20of%20microsystems.pdf21:56
nmz787hmm, maybe that was it then, coupled with the last paper i posted, seems like a good way to proceed21:58
kanzurei think the conventional structure of a microscope is absolutely stupid21:58
nmz787the web scope gets the CNC, and then just mount the bluray optics at an offset of the scope objective21:58
kanzureat least seba-'s weirdo russian microscope was more practical ("here is your soviet viewing tube, fuck shortneck people")21:59
nmz787and also since we'd get a bi/trinocular scope, we can also try shoving a $50 focusable chinese laser (i think i've found the aliexpress seller)21:59
nmz787which one was that?21:59
kanzurei'm not convinced that using a binocular or trinocular scope is the right thing to do- what about just mounting optics on our own frame..22:00
nmz787i think i'd need some jblake time22:00
nmz787for a custom frame22:00
kanzurerussian socpe is http://olx.bg/ruski-mikroskop-i4807863522:01
kanzureit's just t-slot or openbeam or makerslide or whatever it's called these days22:01
nmz787but it would be OK to work off that openlabtools one, or whatever github i posted recently, the raspi scope22:01
nmz787it's optical design is pretty decent22:01

kanzureit looks like you have to do oil immersion to do anything actually microscopic, so maybe there should be an oil bed.. not sure.22:02
nmz787which means you can insert filters or beam splitters in the collimated section and not mess with focusing22:02

kanzureyes.. conventional microscopes look inconvenient to modify.22:02
nmz787only for 1000X though22:02
kanzurewell that's what microscopic is22:02
nmz787the raspi with a better camera22:02
nmz787a much better camera22:02

nmz787from a gopro or other even22:03
nmz787actually i think i already bought the tube lens, and have some infinity objectives22:04
nmz787LOL @ that scope22:05
kanzurenice, right?22:05
nmz787the only diff is lack of a mirro near the eyes22:05
kanzure"efficient"22:05
gradstudentbotYeah, it's definitely impractical and fairly non-elegant at the same time.22:05
nmz787i agree more with gradstudentbot22:05
gradstudentbotFuture work will focus on that.22:05
nmz787weird22:05
gradstudentbotWell, I can't really talk about it because I'm trying to get it published in Science or Nature.22:07
nmz787so you're against open-source for some reason? what about arxiv?22:08
kanzurehe's just trying to survive in a grad student world22:09

nmz787kanzure: it might be fine to just use existing microscopes23:17
nmz787that way poor people in india can use the old ones they already have and don't use enough23:18
nmz787idk23:18
nmz787is a machine shop more accesible than a shipment from China?23:18
nmz787is the t-slot stuff as accessbile, or would it also be coming from China/U.S?23:19
nmz787and then they still have to mess with the basic fine optics23:19
nmz787which is fine to encourage understanding23:20
nmz787it might be simple enough to use machined metal rather than t-slot stuff23:21
nmz787i was thinking of some gears on the microscope control knobs, which would attach to stepper motors via another gear23:22
nmz787that'd increase the backlash I guess23:22
kanzureuh... no. we're using linear screw actuation.23:28
kanzureno way we're interfacing with silly knobs23:28
