In order to solve randomization problem in production of the fibre optic bundles, I have designed this original device, sphere shaped, with 24 single conduits. This design aloud me to do fine adjustment of every single conduit, so at the end, device will have homogenous light output, which is very important for scientific research.
In the same time fibre-optic is under the much lower thermal stress.
This is a prototype of the Sphere Shaped Light Source.
Photo shows testing of a single fibre conduit, using my new 12 Channel Light Meter, revision 2 (rev.1 is visible on this picture, too).
Frame is adjustable in order to accept different type of lab measurements.

Frame is adjustable in order to accept different type of lab measurements.
Connected thermocouples are collecting working temperatures, positioned on the critical places, inside the sphere.
This is one of three, double side printed circuit boards (PCB), which I have designed and made at home lab, especially for the Tissue Culture Project, using MG’ s Positive Photo-resist Process for professional, high resolution quality results, which has Photo Expose Device and Chemicals Etching Process Kit.

For quality testing of the Fibre Optic Conduits I have designed and made this
12 Channels Light Meter
using 32 channels PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Parallax – “Basic Stamp” with implemented Basic Interpreter, using RS 232 standard for communication with PC. For Design and Production of PCB (printed circuit board) I have used
