Design and implementation of instruments for monitoring and evaluating physical activity of insects

The aim of the diploma thesis is the development and subsequent construction of the device whose function is measuring and evaluating physical activity of insects. This instrument is unique in the Czech Republic and will be able to record physical activity of insects by using a video camera. Later that it will be able in this video shot back to reconstruct kinematic and statistical data about the movement of insects with software which is developed with Visual Basic .NET. On the base sufficient od obtained data it can be used to verify the premise of biologists about nervous systém, brain function and behavioral of Drosophila Melangostar which is more than a century used as model for genetics experiments. Finally, the conclusion compares the result of previously known and available software solutions in the world of biology, which are still used as a source for the results of performed experiments
