I contributed to the development of a 3D-printed microscope designed for imaging diamond fluorescence samples. Successfully printing and assembling the microscope, I integrated multiple lenses and an imaging camera to examine slide samples. Additionally, I automated the imaging process by synergizing the Arduino IDE with Python programming.

FINAL MICROSCOPE PROTOTYPE
FINAL MICROSCOPE PROTOTYPE
The final prototype featured a built in LED, custom slide stage, three mirrors, a beam splitting lens, and an objective lens housed in twelve 3D printed frame blocks.

ARDUINO AUTOMATED MICROSCOPE
ARDUINO AUTOMATED MICROSCOPE
An Arduino along with an ESP32 were utilized to automate the microscope. It could scan the entirety of the slide sample by manipulating the slide stage via stepper motors.
BEAM SPLITTING
BEAM SPLITTING
The beam splitter lens in our setup served a dual purpose: it permitted an LED to illuminate the sample through the lens, while simultaneously reflecting the sample for observation.
