Please read the readme file before proceeding with printing. If there are any questions or if you would like some adaptors for use with other microscopes, please contact me at [email protected]

Several components, including the filter tray, excitation filter holder and emission filter holder were adapted and modified from the OPN Microscope designed by Stewart and Giannini (2016), whom have a suite of open source laboratory equipment: https://pages.stolaf.edu/opn-lab/equipment/
