GlowTracker is a modular epifluorescence tracking microscope purely from commercially available off-the-shelf components, which facilitates non-experts to build. GlowTracker’s affordability, versatility, and user-friendly design make it a valuable addition to the toolkit of researchers studying small millimeter-scale organisms, offering novel capabilities for fluorescence tracking, all without the need for specialized fabrication. GlowTracker is specifically designed for sub-mm to mm-sized animals that are too small for standard videography and require microscopes for imaging.
