After years of painstaking research and highly sophisticated engineering, I am finally ready to reveal the ultimate dust protection system for the OpenFlexure Microscope.

_Tadaaa!_

It’s a black polyester drawstring bag, sourced from a well-known American online marketplace.The 12" × 9" size fits the upride microscope perfectly (ca. 12 $ for two of them).

So, after all that effort, the final solution turned out to be a bag. Engineering can be a humbling experience.
