ESPressoscope - a DIY WiFi microscope as small as an espresso cup
This is the second version of the “matchboscope”
www.printables.com/model/412753-esp32-microscope-matchboxscope
ua-cam.com/video/iw_hoDRlnpg/v-deo.html
Here we introduce the ESPressoscope, a #microscope as big as an espresso cup :)
We moved away from the ESP32-Cam and are using the #seeedstudio #xiao #ESP32S3 Sense board. It is slightly more expensive (€16-18) but is way more reliable than the previous board.
It can be used to find #tardigrade around your garden and is good enough to see #zooplankton and other microanimals.
The STL, instructions and the bill of materials are in the repository on Printables: www.printables.com/model/585025
This video shows the building process.
For more info, the GitHub, and the work in progress, please check: matchboxscope.github.io
project based on research from me (@V_saggiomo) and Benedict Diederich (@beniroquai)

    what would happen if you would place something under the microscope that doesnt let light through, like a shiver of rock, crystal, or a butterfly wing and illuminate it from above. Even though these tiny crawling and swimming microorganisms are fascinating from a scientific point of view, me as an artist, want to create beauty; stunning pictures that i can use as they are, or use them as part of a collage, for example. Colour and sharpness of the images is now of the essence....would this microscope be useful in this endeavour?

    There is an additional benefit not mentioned. If the printing block wears out, you can just print another one, identical! Also to smooth out the print you could put the printing block on your heated bed with something flat and heavy, just briefly, to slightly melt out the imperfections.

    I have 3 printers operating in the 3x3 m room, and there is also a Xiaomi air purifier with presumably a HEPA filter. While the air purifier is measuring PM 2.5 at 0-1 which is like the purest you can get, going inside the room after 2-3 hours of simultaneous printing gives me a bad cough right away. IDK, maybe it's the smaller particles like PM 1.0, or the really dry air (28-30% relative humidity) or the oxygen burned out by the high temps, but it's not as harmless and normal as I hoped it would be, additional ventilation is a must. P.S. I'm printing with PLA

    • @v_saggiomo
      @v_saggiomo 9 місяців тому

      you're right. It is possible to use PVA and someone did it years after we used ABS/acetone. In 2015, when we did it, PVA was not yet that much available, and very difficult to print. Nowadays it's better. a second point is that ABS/Acetone is faster than PVA/water as acetone is swelling the PDMS just a little bit that favours the dissolution of the ABS. cheers :)
