Smartphone Microscope Mount (universal)

thingiverse

Designed with ABS and manufactured over two years ago, the settings used are unclear. The design allows for some scaling flexibility to ensure a secure press-fit on microscope eyepiece tubes. Rubber bands or similar materials can be utilized to position the smartphone's camera correctly. It's straightforward. Initially, the goal was simply to create a holder that could keep the phone at a right angle to the eyepiece within the exit pupil. Potential improvements to this design include: A collet and collet-nut system for securing the eyepiece (replacing the press-fit mechanism) would be beneficial. An integral clamping system for the phone would provide added stability. Incorporating a charging cable management system would enhance usability. Adding an internal baffle to reduce reflections in bright environments would improve performance.
