Big Eye

One day someone donated an assembly of a old projector lens to the lab. It was in a very good condition but I wasn’t sure what to do with it so it has been sitting on my desk for a while.

Thinking about the concept of a projector which is to turn something small into a big picture, I decided to build a projection microscope. It turned to be a fun DIY project and a good educational tool for discovering nature.
