USB microscope stand with x-y base and built-in backlight by s7nlisek
by Thingiverse
Last crawled date: 3 years ago
My daughter tried to use a USB microscope, but it was difficult. Keeping focus at high magnification is hard and moving viewed samples is also not easy.
So I designed a table for her, helpful in shifting the sample and focusing.
I also added a backlight crucial for some microscope slides.
Thanks! to 'Hank-Cowdog' for sharing the knob design (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:664192) – it was the basis for code for x/y/z knobs.
Film demonstrating how the table works - https://youtu.be/JszwZvKry9o.
In the gallery few bonus photos with our "cat" :)
