This design aims to minimise both the amount of post-print assembly required, and the number of non-printed parts required - partly to make it as easy as possible to print, and partly to maximise stability most of the microscope (including all the parts with flexures) prints as a single piece. It achieves steps well below 100 nanometers when driven with miniature stepper motors, and is stable to within a few microns over several days. This design for a 3D printed microscope stage uses plastic flexures, meaning its motion is free from friction and vibration. Accurate motion control is extremely difficult using printed mechanical parts, as good linear motion typically requires tight tolerances and a smooth surface finish. Optomechanics is a crucial part of any microscope when working at high magnification, it is absolutely crucial to keep the sample steady and to be able to bring it into focus precisely. You can read various media articles about it for a more user-friendly introduction. The original paper describing the design is available open-access from Review of Scientific Instruments. It uses an inverted geometry, and has a high quality mechanical stage which can be motorised using low cost geared stepper motors.Īn overview paper of the OpenFlexure Microscope is available freely from bioRxiv.
