Laser-cut microscopy stages

Stage Designs and Kits for WebCam Microscopes

In the course of the many workshops on webcam microscopes dozens of genius designs were born. Each setup is unique and the result of an intensive construction and learning process. To integrate some of the experiences and speed up the process of construction you find some stage designs on this page. These designs use acrylic glass or MDF wood boards and are easy to reproduce using a laser cutter like you can find them in most FabLabs.

Updated Microscopy Stage Taiwan Edition

After discussion various neo-colonial structures and the prominent focus on "western" products... we just had to do this one. Thanks to Pei for helping me with the characters and inspiring the design.

Updated Microscopy Stage openSCAD on Thingyverse

Finally got some time to fix the file from urs... added a whole and modded the SCAD file abit. Now the screw dimensions are also parametrized and added some holes.
