OpenScope is a modular microscope: you can use it in manual mode, or you can add motors for finer control. It is very easy to swap between manual and motorized modes. It is also possible to make the microscope fully battery-powered: ideal for fieldwork.
You can use your OpenScope for bright-field imaging only, or extend it to include dark-field and even fluorescence (we have succeeded in imaging GFP only). Check out our Modeling pade to find out how to pick the filters you need for imaging any fluorescent molecule. And if you manage to get it working, we'd love to hear about it!
