01 / Context
The problem
A hardware experiment needs a usable interface for inspecting imagery of particles in water samples.
02 / My contribution
What I built
I built the Python desktop interface and computer-vision integration for a Raspberry Pi-based prototype.
- Image-processing workflow
- Desktop operator interface
- Raspberry Pi integration

Technical decisions
Connecting hardware and software
OpenCV provides image-processing capabilities, while Tkinter supplies a local desktop interface on Raspberry Pi.

Project notes
A prototype, not a validated analytical instrument. No detection accuracy or scientific performance claims are made.
