Pollen monitoring

My understanding is that 100x would give a field of view that is 2x2mm, e.g. the same as the movement with the step motors. The sample plate I am using is 110x110 mm, so I am planning to patch together 6x6 images to make a picture of the whole plate, before I run that through the image recognition software.

110mm is 60x60 images at 2mm square, and would need more for overlap for tiling. At this size the 2mm motorized x-y motion is not much use for you. Maybe the flat top microscope would be better?

Flat top microscope

I’ve just finished a first pass through the “flat top microscope” instructions. No details for any of the parts yet, but I thought I’d post it here in case it’s of interest to anyone.
