Photolithography techniques are often chosen, as they offer the combination of versatility, precision, and quick delivery demanded by researchers. Beyond fabrication, stimulus-responsive systems, such as photosensitivity biomaterials, are the object of broad study within a very interdisciplinary community. Here, we show that a standard laboratory microscope can be quickly and economically transformed into a powerful maskless photofabrication/ photoexcitation station using off-the-shelf DMD development modules and simple optomechanical components allowing real time observation of the fabrication process.6 p.application/pdfeng(c) Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2023Matèria condensada tovaMicroscòpiaFotolitografiaSoft condensed matterMicroscopyPhotolithographyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7334182023-06-16info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
