Hi, Some of the links are broken, most of them I could find by googling, I couldn't find the "CCTV Linse", and which wires are required. Could you please help me with finding/provide a recommended Lense to purchase? thanks!

Hey @Tarzter,

thanks for reaching out! The lens was only used for a special voice-coil-based focusing mechanism. Not sure if you really want to recreate that one? I must admit that the current documentation may not reflect the final build. What exactly do you envision to build in the end? Perhaps I can guide you through the process.

Thank you for the quick response! I would like to recreate the "Opentrons Imaging Unit" - I want to embed automatic microscopy photage inside the opentrons OT-2, I saw your other project Hi2 but it seemed like a more complicated one (correct me if I'm wrong) - because of the UT2 microscope - requiring to order parts that are harder to find (most of the shops in the links ships to germany and not world wide, ).

What would you recommend? Currently I've ordered parts from the list and some parts that I saw in the assembly pictures which were missing (Limit switch, 10x optical microscope lens, and bunch of wires)

Hey, sorry for late reply. Holiday season :-) I think the microscope here is a good first start. It gives you a fully working wellplate scanning microscope without the need to assemble UC2 components. May I ask you what you want to do with it? Depending on what you want to do, perhaps another easy thing would be to buy a laser engraver and a cheap USB microscope and create a cheap wellplate scanning microscope?
