Assembly instructions:
- Make sure you have some superglue, blue-tak, sticky tape, a file and some pliers. Print all the necessary parts. You'll notice that the printer adds a sort of brim to the bottom surface of each part. Cut away the brim for each of the parts, and file the edges if necessary.
- Remove the lens from the Raspberry Pi camera. Using a pair of pliers (the kind with a ridged surface), grip the top circular plastic part of the lens and rotate counter-clockwise. It may be easier to grip the lens firmly and rotate the sensor, rather than the other way around. Once the lens in fully unscrewed, you can just pull it out. Quickly cover the resulting hole with some sticky tape to protect the CCD from dust particles.
- Take the lens you just removed from the RPi camera and push it into the bright-field cube for RPi lens (into the round hole). Make sure that the larger side of the lens is facing outwards.
- Whenever you need better resolution, use the ball lens instead of the RPi lens (keep in mind it will have smaller field of view!). In that case, use the bright-field cube for ball lens. Push the ball lens into the round hole. You can pop the lens in and out if needed, but be careful not to damage it!
- Let's assemble the chassis of the microscope. Using superglue (we recommend Loctite\; apply with a brush) for the following steps:
- glue 2 nuts on the bottom of the main stage, into the nut-shaped holes
- glue 1 nut on the bottom of the z axis, into the nut-shaped hole (the z axis comes in two parts - the nut goes on the part shaped like a square with a corner missing)
- glue the base onto the bottom the main stage
- screw caps (x3)

- slide the remaining z axis assembly in from top
- make sure the main z axis fits into the slot in the camera holder, if it does - glue it in place
- slide the lens (with its holder) into the camera cube
- click the camera cube into the square hole of the camera holder, make sure it goes all the way down (front face of cube at the level of the bottom surface of the holder)
- detach the camera sensor from the camera board, click the RPi Cam sensor into the camera cube, click the SUNNY back to the board (make sure it stays connected at all times!!!)
- put screws into holes on the top cover, place a washer under each screwtop and screw into the nuts (make sure the superglue has dried...) - now you can move the stage and the z axis and you are ready to image!

Use the STL file if you want to view the component, and the SCAD file if you need to edit it (using OpenSCAD or similar software).
However, when it comes to making the microscope, do print several components in one go - it will save some time. Just print everything that is in this file [INCLUDE COMBINED PRINT FILES]. And make sure to check out our 3D printing tips [LINK TO SO YOU THINK YOU CAN PRINT]
If you do not have access to a 3D printer, you can send your files to a 3D printing service and they’ll ship your printed parts.

Assembly instructions:
- Make sure you have some superglue, blue-tak, sticky tape, a file and some pliers. Print all the necessary parts. You'll notice that the printer adds a sort of brim to the bottom surface of each part. Cut away the brim for each of the parts, and file the edges if necessary.
- Remove the lens from the Raspberry Pi camera. Using a pair of pliers (the kind with a ridged surface), grip the top circular plastic part of the lens and rotate counter-clockwise. It may be easier to grip the lens firmly and rotate the sensor, rather than the other way around. Once the lens in fully unscrewed, you can just pull it out. Quickly cover the resulting hole with some sticky tape to protect the CCD from dust particles.
- Take the lens you just removed from the RPi camera and push it into the bright-field cube for RPi lens (into the round hole). Make sure that the larger side of the lens is facing outwards.
- Whenever you need better resolution, use the ball lens instead of the RPi lens (keep in mind it will have smaller field of view!). In that case, use the bright-field cube for ball lens. Push the ball lens into the round hole. You can pop the lens in and out if needed, but be careful not to damage it!
- Let's assemble the chassis of the microscope. Using superglue (we recommend Loctite\; apply with a brush) for the following steps:
- glue 2 nuts on the bottom of the main stage, into the nut-shaped holes
- glue 1 nut on the bottom of the z axis, into the nut-shaped hole (the z axis comes in two parts - the nut goes on the part shaped like a square with a corner missing)
- glue the base onto the bottom the main stage
- screw caps (x3) '
if(options[5] == 0) {ret += ' - screw holders (x3) '
}
if(options[5] == 1) {
ret += ' }
if(options[5] == 2) {
ret += '}ret += '
- slide the main z axis into its slot (the central one) from the bottom, make sure it can move smoothly
- slide the remaining z axis assembly in from top
- make sure the main z axis fits into the slot in the camera holder, if it does - glue it in place
- slide the lens (with its holder) into the camera cube
- click the camera cube into the square hole of the camera holder, make sure it goes all the way down (front face of cube at the level of the bottom surface of the holder)
- detach the camera sensor from the camera board, click the RPi Cam sensor into the camera cube, click the SUNNY back to the board (make sure it stays connected at all times!!!)
- put screws into holes on the top cover, place a washer under each screwtop and screw into the nuts (make sure the superglue has dried...) - now you can move the stage and the z axis and you are ready to image!
