Hi all,
I’m trying to build a v6 reflection illumination microscope. The ‘reflection illuminator.stl’ file includes three parts, but I can’t work out how to use one of the circular parts with a hole in the centre. The instructions don’t mention the parts.
Any information will be much appreciated. Best regards!

Hi @BobEndo, a picture woild help to understand which part you are lookimg at. The reflection optics option has never had the attention to the instructions that the transmission has had.
Is there a particular reason that you are building v6 rather than v7 for your microscope?
Thank you for your reply @WilliamW
I indicate the parts in question with a red circle in the image.
The reason I am building a v6 microscope is that I am trying to build a magneto-optical Kerr microscope, as described in the paper I refer to. In that paper, they constructed a microscope based on the v6 microscope.
In the code it is called the field_stop(). I think that it goes here:
However I think that this part is changed in the paper (Development of a magneto-optical Kerr microscope... | F1000Research), and is angle_part.stl.
Overall looking at the paper, you should be able replicate this relatively easily with the microscope v7. The optics module mounting and the illumination mounting should be the same. I am not sure why the authors of the paper made the extra cut-out in the front of the body, it might be that they just needed the optics module to go higher up because of a particular objective. Replicating exactly what they did first is a good idea, but after that moving to v7 would be a great idea.
thank you for your kind instruction.
According to the paper, the extra cut-out is need to turn angle_part.stl
I think the author may attach a polarizer to angle_part.stl, but I can’t understand how to do that.
