Microscope Bolt On Lamp

thingiverse

This is a DIY Bolt-On Lamp for microscopes that uses three LEDs and a potentiometer to illuminate the top of a slide. The print is bolted to the microscope neck, so that the LEDs point down onto the slide. Parts: Resistor Potentiometer Barrel Jack 3 LEDs 2 M4 Bolts and Matching Nuts 4 Screws The circuit schematic can be designed by you, as any three LED's can be used. I will be printing one for white, RGB, and UV to illuminate with different parts of the spectrum. The potentiometer allows adjustment of brightness, but always exercise caution and avoid looking into a microscope if the light is strong enough to cause harm.
