Phone adapter for probestation microscope

I designed a custom adapter for my Karl Suss PSM6 probestation microscope using FlorentBonnefoi's original design as inspiration. I made some key modifications to ensure compatibility with my Nexus 5X smartphone, which has its camera centered on the backside. To achieve this, I relocated the hole where the phone's camera would be placed to the center of the adapter, allowing for a wider range of phones to fit securely. Additionally, I reduced the diameter of the cylindrical part and simplified the design of the piece that holds the phone in place, making it easier to attach and more stable when assembled horizontally. However, it's worth noting that if the adapter is tilted during use, this revised design might not be sufficient to keep the phone steady, so care must be taken to ensure proper alignment.
