StentorCam V2

Context

Created for experiments with Stentor to avoid disrupting their behavior with visible light.

Contribution

• Designed stable camera mount for large lens
• Built IR light tray using diffusion film for even illumination
• Updated code for ease of use

Approach

3D-printed custom mounts and trays, integrated IR LEDs, and optimized camera positioning for stable imaging.

Result

Enabled detailed studies of Stentor’s phototaxis and habituation.
