8/9 Coil for Microscope

thingiverse

Hi everyone!! It's been a while since I posted anything new, and my last update featured those super cool beam-frequency disks that you can use to create weird slot patterns like: 0[][ ] [] [][ ] [][] [ ] | [][ ] [] [][ ] [][] [ ]360 These were specifically designed for your purposes, and now I have a cool attachment for your microscope that I created around the same time. You can use this to refine the beam freq disks and make them even more effective. However, please note the safety statement at the bottom of this post. This design is for an 8/9 coil, which means that the proportions between the top circle and bottom circle are 9 to 8 ratio. This will cause your field to be directed upwards onto your specimen slide. The idea behind this came to me after reading several papers indicating that radiofrequencies in the kHz, MHz, GHz, and THz frequencies all affect biological systems differently. So, what better way to view these effects than by observing changes in morphology at a microscopic scale? To wind the coil correctly, follow the right-hand rule, starting at the top end of the coil (the bigger circle, the "9" part), winding downwards towards the 8 part, counter-clockwise. Be sure to use a nice little circuit or function generator to get your signal going through your coil. Maybe a high gain transistor circuit to boost the signal, or a 555 timer for some variable square wave pulses if you don't have a function generator. I designed this attachment specifically for my microscope, with the "8" side circumference fitting snugly under the stage's inner lip and the "9" end fitting perfectly just above the specimen on the slide. If your microscope has a different design, you may need to adjust the coil accordingly. If you have any questions or comments, please drop them in the comments section below. I used masking tape to hold my coils in place, but hot glue or another adhesive might work better. Good luck with your research, and remember to follow safety guidelines when working with radiofrequencies! -- END SAFETY NOTICE -- Layers were 0.2, infill was like 10% or 90%, sorry I forgot which one haha. Printed on ABS or PLA at regular temperature without supports.
