multiCAFE Protocol, data sample, analysis tools and 3D experimental cages

Set of tools and data samples illustrating how to measure the feeding behavior in insects like Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly. Individual flies contained in small 3D printed cages are given access to calibrated capillaries containing a colored liquid. A webcam is used to take images at regular intervals. The stack of images is then analyzed to extract how much liquid is ingested by the flies. This collection regroup files describing how to run such experiments (called multiCAFE), how to analyze the images and stl files to 3D-print the cages used to collect data. This collection is associated with a STAR Protocols manuscript in preparation.
