Developing usable microfluidics for research application is, in fact, a lot of mechanical and electrical engineering, and just a bit of the primary application. The video below is an attempt to master animation of the assembly process for interface module, which is a tiny aluminum frame with a PCB.

Each time my wife asks me to fill the microscope with liquid nitrogen, I feel a steampunk vibe. Like this instrument is steam-powered and I am pouring some water to the boiler to keep it running.
