< | It is important to make the drawing in the right scale. For my design, I took up the idea from the origins of the microscope where the eyepiece, the lenses and the arm are on top and the light, the aperture and the object are on the lower part. | ||
In this case, the lens is placed on a platform that can be moved up and down trough a threaded rod. This rod is fixed with nuts to the stage. The base consists in a kind of box with a hole to put the slide, which contains the object. | |||
