I worked in this space for over a decade. It's so weird to me to see the workhorse sequencing hardware like the ABI 37x/37xx series, 454, and Illumina machines now as literal museum pieces.
So it's not just a strong magnifying glass and tiny tweezers?
The nanopore technique described towards the end is not that far from your description.
