ABSTRACT
Recently, microfluidic technologies have been developed to allow higher throughput collection of yeast replicative lifespan data. Adoption of these devices has been limited, in part, due to the high cost of the motorized microscopy instrumentation from mainline manufacturers. Inspired by recent development of open source microscopy hardware and software, we developed minimal-cost hardware attachments to provide long-term focus stabilization for lower-cost microscopes and open source software to manage concurrent time-lapse image acquisition from multiple microscopes. We hope that these tools will help spur the wider adoption of microfluidic technologies for the study of aging in yeast.
