Applications for Open Source Microplate-Compatible Illumination Panels

Microplate Assistive Pipetting Light Emitter (M.A.P.L.E.) is a computer-driven device that systematically illuminates microtiter wells to provide guidance for the manual preparation of microplates.  M.A.P.L.E. improves the accuracy of microplate preparation while automating data recordkeeping.  In addition, it can assist with examining microplate quality or aid in the detection of errors.
