Microscope Bolt On Lamp

This is a DIY bolt-on lamp for microscopes. Three LEDs and a potentiometer illuminate the top of a slide. The print is bolted to the microscope neck, so that the LEDs point down onto the slide.

Parts:

Resistor

Potentiometer

Barrel Jack

3 LEDs

2 M4 Bolts and Matching Nuts

4 Small Screws

The circuit schematic is up to you, since you can use any three LED's you want. I will be printing one for white, RGB, and UV so that I can illuminate with any part of the spectrum.

The potentiometer allows for some adjustment of the brightness.
