MicroDex
3D-Printable Microscopy
x50 x350 x750 magnifications
MicroDex: A 3D Printable Microscope for Optical Experimentation
Magnifications: x50, x350, x750.
Note: This 3D print is not for the faint of heart. It demands precision from calibrated machines and expertise from its operators. The design excels at x50 magnification, but refinements may be needed for optimal focus at the higher magnifications. This project serves as a platform for non-commercial exploration and experimentation.
Features

3 objective lenses: x50, x350, x750
2 filters (Polarizing and an additional one)
Focus with a 1/40 rotation detent
I engineered the MicroDex using multiple concepts, and I'm proud of the cam mechanism for the filters. Using MicroDex supports a bigger mission. Every design in our catalogue helps fund renewable wind energy research. If you value the design, please donate to support this cause.
