A M4 thread has a pitch of 0.7 mm, which means that one rotation about its own axis will move the lower sled 0.7 mm and consequently the upper sled about 0.2 mm. As a result, the microscope can be adjusted very fine in its height. | A M4 thread has a pitch of 0.7 mm, which means that one rotation about its own axis will move the lower sled 0.7 mm and consequently the upper sled about 0.2 mm. As a result, the microscope can be adjusted very fine in its height. However, compared to the cases built by my fellow students (see [[GMU:DIY-Microscopy#Works|Works]]), my approach is quite complicated and a bit more expensive just to fulfil the same functionality. | ||
''Note:'' Unfortunately the 3D printer became damaged; so, the case itself is built out of Balsa wood and could not be printed during this course. The sleds were printed before the printer fell off the table. | ''Note:'' Unfortunately the 3D printer became damaged; so, the case itself is built out of Balsa wood and could not be printed during this course.
