Final project
1. Motorized translational microscopic stage
My optical tweezers setup requires the control of sample positioning, which is crucial for the measurements. Comercially available stags are very expensive, so I want to check, if I can create my own Microscope Automated XY Stage with a desirable properties.
- XY sample sliding directions
- LED backlight for the sample underneath the stage with remote control
- Remote motion control
- Adjustable legs height
- 3d printed linear stage
- A 3D Printed Toolbox for Opto-Mechanical Components
- Simmilar projects on STLfinder
- Microscope Automated XY Stage
- Github open project on 3D printed translation equipment
- Stage with a built-in backlight
- Openstage: A Low-Cost Motorized Microscope Stage with Sub-Micron Positioning Accuracy
- Project from fabacademy 2016
- X and Y stepper motors. EXAMPLE: Mercury Stepper Motor with Cable from Sparkfun, better performance, but considerably higher price Vexta PK243M
- Micrometer
- LED light
