Pocket RMS microscope with condenser, darkfield, schlieren and 3D printable

Post by zzffnn »

A microscopist in UK designed this good looking pocket RMS microscope, which can take a NA 0.9 condenser module and provide darkfield and Schlieren imaging in the field, along with other modules such dual monocular teaching head.

It is 3D printable as well:

It appears to be 551 grams in weight without the optional condenser module, which is NOT provided in the standard package at the moment.

Standard package includes a 10x eyepiece and 4x + 10x RMS plan achromat objectives and costs 239 GBP.

Has anyone here tried it?

I am in USA and would like to try it. I have emailed them (with recommendation that they offer a package without objectives or eyepiece,
but with condenser) and am waiting for reply.
