I am working at HBCSE and my area of interest is Electronics, design and technology. Here,at Cube lab i got exposed to Art-Science- BLR. I designed a microscope from junk. I am interested in designing new useful stuff from junk and share ideas.

Here, I am sharing making of a microscope which I learnt in a workshop conducted by ART SCIENCE BLR lab, Bangalore.

Making Process

'''Camera''' • Dismantle a web cam, and try to explore how the camera works. • Lens is the main part and later it was figured out that to make this microscope we had to invert the lens. • Testing of these lenses and its magnifying power involves two steps. 1. Invert the camera lens 2. Bring lens close to computer screen till it shows RGB colours. • RGB colours which were visible were termed as RGB pixels. • So after the inversion of lens the camera was kept aside as it was ready for installing in microscope.

'''Light Source''' • Soldering is introduced here. • Connecting of any two wires, devices, electronics part is done by soldering. • First soldering was done on a battery holder by connecting two wires. • A led with a switch connected to it was the required light source. • Led and battery will then be connected to the microscope which will be the light source.

'''Design or the Model for Microscope''' • The instructors did not mention any thing about the design part. • You have the freedom to design your own microscope using any mechanism. • Field Trip was planned for the same. • HBCSE campus was the field and we had to find the junk which could be made useful in building our microscope. • The model design depends on you.
