I have built the open flexure microscope, the Raspberry Pi based open source microscope detailed at https://openflexure.org/projects/microscope/


Open Flexure 3D Printed Microscope

Uses Raspberry Pi, Pi Camera module, Arduino and stepper motors for positioning and focus

Objective

Laboratory objectives can be used, but this is the R-Pi v2 camera module with the lens removed, reversed and displaced about 20mm with a 3D printed adaptor

Blinken Lights

Stepper motors driver board LEDs arranged in extra layers for effect rather than Sangaboard
