My Digital Scope modded slightly

#1 Post by Darren » Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:33 am

Hi all,

Here's my microscopy setup,

an SW380T, don't need to say or show anything about that, as there is plenty of information on here and Oliver did a good video on it.

My other scope is a digital... as seen here <img> https://www.dropbox.com/s/k92h9a8vmlc2s ... 5.jpg?dl=0 </img>

Just need some idea how to ditch the stand and remake it. This I mashed together from bits n' bobs. It is quite solid as there is a steel 90 degree angle piece supporting the original 'plastic' stand that came with the scope. Cut out hole to allow the led light at the bottom.
It says upto 2000x magnification. I'm guessing its approx 200x when comparing with the sw380.

Anyway, works well. I have a mechanical stage, can do brightfield and darkfield and fully illuminated from the top field (/wink) what ever that means.

I just need to design a stand and stage that takes the scope. Have metal lathe do might get to work on that.

Thank you for your time,

Darren
