Other features include separate coarse and fine adjustment knobs, power functions LEDs and a rotating stage. Hope you guys enjoy it!

October 3, 201311 yr very nice indeed, I like it, if you look at the upper image, it is hard to see at first that it is a LEGO microscope!
October 3, 201311 yr This is really something special and awesome! I will defiantly support it on Cuusoo to
October 3, 201311 yr I didn't know Lego made a magnifying glass! This is so realistic, from the first pic I didn't think it was Lego either, until the tyre(s) gave it away. Brilliant, and so good to have something other than vehicles on here.
October 4, 201311 yr very nice indeed, I like it, if you look at the upper image, it is hard to see at first that it is a LEGO microscope! I had the same experience! This model is a perfect example why I wanted (or want) to do a non-vehicular contest
October 4, 201311 yr Hi i am working for a microscope manufacturer - so for me this is a great MOC. Looks exactly like many older students and pupils microscopes. You have a sense for details. Does your stage move in X and Y. Suggestions for Mark III: Phase contrast, Fluorescence, motorised scanning stage, Plan Apo Objectives.... (just kidding) ;) Dino
October 4, 201311 yr Brilliant idea! Is there a special placing of the glasses to get this enlargement? Do you have building instructions? (or are you planning to make it?) Edited October 4, 201311 yr by Mbmc
October 4, 201311 yr Awesome! This is one of those projects that will reach 10 000 supporters on Cuusoo in no time, if it were there, and for example IFLS (I f***ing Love Science) on facebook sees it! Like the ATLAS Large Hadron Collider (or whatever is the correct name) did. But this is even better, as you can actually magnify stuff quite a bit with it, whereas the LHC model didn't actually let you observe the collision of subatomic particles
October 4, 201311 yr very nice indeed, I like it, if you look at the upper image, it is hard to see at first that it is a LEGO microscope! Yup, I thought the first pic was a photo of "What I'm trying to make". It was only your comment made me scroll back up again and double check.
October 4, 201311 yr That's a brilliant MOC. It gets my vote on CUUSOO. I would love to see this as an official set.
