A while back I was lucky enough to encounter a disassembled Genome Analyzer 2. I’ve played with the data from these instruments a lot, having written an image analysis and basecalling<\/a> platform for this instrument so it was fun to see one on the inside.<\/p>\n

The instrument is effectively a TIRF microscope, stage and fluidics system stuffed in a case. As is typical of early versions of scientific lab equipment, it mostly uses off-the-shelf parts stuffed in a case.<\/p>\n

For my reference, I took a huge number of pictures. Check them out below:
