Description
English 🇬🇧 :
“Fluidic and Manual Plankton Microscope”
Warning! This documentation may not be up to date. The link to the official documentation is below.
An open, 3D-printable field station designed to explore the invisible worlds contained within a single drop of water.
Except for the video feed, which requires a computer, everything is entirely manual.
The fluid circulates using a dial, while focus and zoom are controlled by levers.
🎥 The instrument connects to a PC for camera feedback; plankton manipulation is achieved manually via the gray wheel.
🔍 Levers facilitate magnification adjustment and focusing.
📏 A screw enables coverslip displacement for precise element targeting.
💡 A potentiometer regulates brightness.
✅ Pipettes and Petri dishes are superfluous! Filter your sample, then simply circulate it using the pump. ♻️
The complete documentation (french only) and the most recent 3D files are available
Find my other projects, particularly those in free and frugal oceanographic instrumentation, here.
