When I try to press fit the magnets into my baseplate, the fit is not tight enough to hold them in properly. I was going to glue them in place, and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the best type of adhesive. Thanks in advance.

Hi Atkca,

Yes there can be a small variation between machined hole diameters of the magnet holes. We often use a drop of superglue (liquid not gel) when press fitting them in to make sure they stay in place. Just make sure the clean off the glue from the top surface of the baseplate so that the miniscope sits flat.
