Scientist Boi is frustrated because he's been doing a growth curve all day. If only there existed an affordable device that could do his growth curves for him...

It's cheap. Two orders of magnitude less than alternatives.

And it holds its own against the gold standard - a spectrophotometer.

It's easy to build. A college freshman built it in two hours.

Want to build one yourself? We know you want to.

But designing it wasn't so easy. See how we failed - and tried again.
