This page will walk you through the steps of building your own MINIscope system.
Contents
Ordering custom parts
The filter set, MINIscope body, and Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) need to be custom made. Below you will find all the information you will need to order these parts.
Filter set
The MINIScope needs one excitation filter , one emission filter, and one 45 degree dichroic mirror. The filers must be cut to 4mm x 4mm and the dichroic must be cut to 4.8mm x 4mm. Filter and dichroic substrates should not exceed 1.1mm thick. Chroma provides affordable filter sets and quick custom cutting services but filter sets from any supplier should work as long as they meet our dimensional requirements.
