Hardware v2.1🔗

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

Make an assembly kit🔗

Currently, you can find the instructions for making an assembly kit at the PlanktoScope website.

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🔗

Currently, you can find step-by-step instructions for assembling a PlanktoScope from a kit at the old documentation site for PlanktoScope.

Next steps🔗

After assembling your PlanktoScope hardware, you will need to set up the PlanktoScope software on the micro-SD card of your PlanktoScope's Raspberry Pi. Then you can proceed to our operation guide to learn how to operate your PlanktoScope.
