Progress with the mechanism

For those following along at home the design is happening live in this repository. We are adding scripts to automatically check any OpenSCAD code and to create any STLs in the cloud, so the production files are always up-to-date. Soon we will start to document the very first proto-microscope.

Attached to this post is a video of an early iteration of the focus mechanism. The design as it stands has a focussing mechansim and a camera holder.

About This Project

Microscopes are one of the most important scientific tools. There are no shortage of low-cost microscope designs. However, different experiments need different types of microscope. Field microscopes must be robust enough for tough conditions, ideally they should be repairable in the field.

If we can design a microscope that can be built in a field station, we can be sure it will be repairable in a field station.

We will design a dissection microscope to allow in field identification of bees.

Blast off!
