Hello,

We completed a major redesign of the microscope and today we are proud to release the new version of the scope. There are many new features that realign the design to a more classical look. This has many design features that I have listed below. The scope was designed to be light, easy to build, low cost, and compact.

1. Uses common microscope eyepiece and objectives. At the moment that includes a 10x eyepiece and a 10x objective for a total of 100x magnification.
2. It features a slide platform that was printed solid with added spring loaded metal slide holders.
3. Side facing focusing knobs on smooth running metal ball bearings.
4. A 160mm 3D printed tube to match the focal lengths of the glass lenses.
5. Built in Li-poly battery to run the scope with out power infrastructure, Also a large solar array to power it in remote areas.

Be sure to like are project and as always comments are welcome!

I will be posting updated 3D print files soon so be on the lookout!
