Microscope Stand

thingiverse

This stand enables users to adjust the magnification ratio of their digital LCD microscope with ease. Having recently acquired such a microscope for electronic component examination and soldering purposes, I discovered upon delivery that the magnification level was too high for my needs. To address this issue, I designed and built a stand featuring an adjustable height function. The height adjustment range spans 40mm to 200mm, and photographs showcase the zoom effect in action. To ensure stability and reduce noise during adjustments, I employed rubber bands as shown in the accompanying photos. These rubber bands introduce additional friction, which keeps the microscope securely in place while providing a smooth feel during adjustments. I believe this design effectively serves its intended purpose and operates smoothly, so I am pleased to share it with others who may benefit from its functionality.
