Very clever. Good job.
Must be nice to have access to a 3-D printer.

Outstanding results for a difficult problem....many people could use your hack. Is it expensive to make? You may have a nice little additional product line to sell.

It is not expensive at all to make, I can make anywhere from 5 to 15 at a time depending on which size I am printing, the filters are removable as well incase you have an extra shiny non copper coin (nickels, dimes ect) the inside of the cone itself without the filter is black so when you put a really shiny coin under it the light will bounce off and absorb into the walls instead of glaring back into the microscope. So the cone itself has a completely separate use with or without the filter. As for selling them I actually plan to, originally I was just making them for my own use but I know a lot of collectors would appreciate a low budget option for the cheaper microscopes. USB microscopes really aren't that bad if you can get the lighting to cooperate properly and that was why I made them, I found myself messing with the lighting more than I was actually using it, so all in all I accomplished my goal with these and not only do they work, they have been tested rigorously for the best possible outcome.

Very nice upgrade JohnWayne007  I'm using the Celestron USB microscope and I have the same challenge with the internal LEDs. https://www.celestron.com/products/...croscope-proFor now I just added a paper cone inside the microscope's clear plastic end tube to diffuse the light. It's not perfect but it's working. Is there a similar end tube on your microscope? Did you remove it to add your custom cone? My kids have a 3D printer. So I think I will try your setup.

The clear "Dust cover" lens you speak of needs to be removed, they normally just pop off but I'm not sure about the Celestron, you would have to find out as I do not have one on hand to see. Also if you decide to print your own you need to make sure that you do not hit the LED's from the sides or top, you need to make precise measurements with a measuring calliper in order to make enough clearance in the right places or you could bust the LED's right off of the microscope while trying to fit the cone, so print at your own risk. Celestrons are fairly expensive an id hate to see you bust it so you need to be 100% confident in your measurements or be willing to potentially ruin your microscope as an outcome, that warning is not meant to be taken lightly either, I went through 2 cheaper USB Microscopes while going through testing before perfecting the design.

Thanks JohnWayne007 for your answer.
The Celestron's Dust Cover is well glued. I will have to find a way to remove it without destroying the microscope.
Few other technical questions.
Which material did you use for the white diffuser?
And the thickness to get good diffusion?
Thanks!

Thanks! SP67, both the Cone and Filter are made from biodegradable PLA, as for thickness of the filter I would have to check my notes.

the software that runs the microscope does have settings to adjust the exposure. contrast white balance and something that looks like an xray. What capture software are you using? I have the Celestron and it's Microcapture Pro software doesn't have those image manipulation features as far I know. |
