my quarantine project

Hello everyone, I decided to talk about my quarantine project , my own microscope. Well it all started when my friend Luis had built one in my first year of university, he showed me the wonderful things he found in the microscopic world and it ended up being my biggest motivation. I have always liked the subject of electronics, playing with electrical circuits, and those things, so why not make a microscope where the sample can be moved with motors and everything controlled, at first it sounded like a great idea, disassemble An old printer that I had only to get some motors, gears, cables, and use part of the structure, but I realized that it was all very rough, with the help of a friend who knows electronics he began to recommend components and so buy some things.

He bought me the lenses that would give him the necessary zoom to see the sample, motors called step motors, which would allow me to better control the movement and an Arduino board that is a microcontroller that would allow me to control the motors and intensity from a program of light, and well learning to program it was quite a tedious but entertaining job. So far I just need to assemble the structure and I would be ready, but it has been a long way of waiting and learning, I hope everything goes well.
