The 96-wells plate was the first thing I built for this MOC. It set the scale for the whole project... I know, I said it is 1:1, but actually more like 9:10 - when measuring the microplate. The cross table came next. The size of the plate determined the required swing out, that, in turn, for the size of the stage, and so on. I was quite pleased to come up with a trick to put two wheels above each other, the x-axis and y-axis controls, so to speak.

This model microscope does not win many points on ergonomics; not with the focus knob at the back. The reason for placing it there, is that the mechanism that raises and lowers the objectives is rather chunky. By turning the focus knob, a linear actuator lifts or lowers the objective carousel. Of course, it is possible to raise them too high and crush the objective into the table. If you have never cracked a slide, you never have used a microscope! (After I wired the microscope up, though, the carousel gets stuck just below the maximum height...)
Biochemistry is defined as a science that combines the principals of chemistry, genetics, biology, mathematics and physics together in one. Students that graduate with a biochemistry degree from a leading learning institution will be able to obtain a career in a vast amount of fields.
playing with light. varied the light, with a cheap LED light toy, and made video of that. The different colors throw different features into relief. interesting.
Just posting to host this, so I can get an ID on these bugs.
If you know what this is, please give me a clue.
Scale bar is 50 micrometers
A new boom stand for the Usb microscope - I can now monitor the entire cutting surface by swinging the stand left or right
There is about 10mm clearance from the platter to the bottom of the microscope & with a 1.5 to 2mm thick record brings the clearance height to about 8mm
An unusual item - one of the very first Yashica Microscope Adapters in their newly-adopted M42 mount which still came in a Pentamatic box!
Shoot for macro mondays theme: What is it
clue: its very much about small things
Edit: As you have guessed what it is I have changed the title and added more tags.

The exposed screw heads would keep the stepper motor from moving on the 'sled.' In reality, I think a redesigned rig won't need that ability to adjust - you can slide the timing belts onto the pulleys without moving the motor on the sled, but the flexibility does make the rig adjustable to other microscopes.
In order to handle the exposed screwheads I made a second motor mount piece, called the 'slide' (since it slides on the sled. creating language to describe parts is hard :-/)
The pieces are identical, except that the screw holes on the slide are large enough for the screw heads. This allows the laser cutter to create parts with countersunk screws.

An interesting look at everyday things.
I bought a cheap USB powered Microscope and then started exploring. Some of the images were very unexpected so I thought I would post a few.
