The microscope uses a mix of Texas Instruments ... Each chip was placed in a breadboard and wired up to an Arduino Mega, as it has enough digital pins to connect without needing a shift register.

“The result was a US $300 modular and motorized microscope that combines my three favorite adulthood hobbies: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and [LEGO],” Temiz writes. Arduino is a company that makes ...

Like many DIY projects, this microscope is built from old DVD parts ... The pickup head coils and laser are driven by an Arduino carried on a custom PCB along with the DVD heads.

And to do that, she and her colleagues are developing a £300 open-source atomic force microscope (AFM) that uses 3D-printed parts, Arduino computers and Lego bricks. "We want to enable children ...

The microscope is controlled by a Raspberry Pi (which controls an arduino to move the steppers). It's not beautiful, it takes forever to scan, and the images are of dubious quality... but it works!

How impressive is this? It's how to build what is described as a fully-functional microscope using Arduinos and a Raspberry Pi. There's also LEGO and 3D printing in the mix. It's the Gadget Master ...

The LEGO2NANO teams were challenged to build a functioning scanning atomic force microscope, using only Lego pieces, Arduino microcontrollers, 3D-printed parts and consumer electronics.

The Arduino 101 equipped with Intel's Curie module integrates a 6-axis gyro/accelerometer and Bluetooth, which sets it apart from the rest of the Arduino line up. What the heck is an Arduino?

Makers and developers might be interested in this new project which has been published by Instructables user “Venkes”, who has created a DIY laser scanning microscope using an Arduino Uno ...
