Designing an Instrument Based nn Native Fluorescence to Determine Soil Microbial Content at a Mars Analog Site
For this research project we designed an instrument to detect bacteria via biomolecular fluorescence. We introduce the current understanding of astrobiology, our knowledge of life beyond Earth, and the commonality of Earth life as it pertains to the search for life on Mars. We proposed a novel techn...
