+Our open hardware flow microscopy platform is a more comprehensive version of our open-source [strobe-enhanced microscopy stage](https://github.com/wenzel-lab/strobe-enhanced-microscopy-stage) (build instructions [here](https://wenzel-lab.github.io/strobe-enhanced-microscopy-stage/)), including the control of pressure, flow and temperature in 4-channels. The platform is controlled by ["Rio", our modular microfluidics controller](https://github.com/wenzel-lab/modular-microfluidics-workstation-controller) boards and firmware. Woring with pressuriesed gas, regulators and flow-sensors allows for a compact, faster, and more precise flow control compared to syringe pumps, such as our [3D printed syringe pumps with controller](https://github.com/wenzel-lab/syringe-pumps-and-controller). In contrast to other open-source platforms and some commercial platforms, our implementation is capable of handling high-pressures (up to 6bar) in order to process gels and more viscous liquids.
