Laser Cut and 3D Printed Parts for Microscopy

Here are 3D parts we have designed for microscopes. Most have been designed in either Solidworks or Autocad Inventor (which can be obtained free for academic use).

96-Well Format Sample Holders

These are stage inserts with the same footprint as a standard 96-well plate, so they will sit in any 96-well plate holder.
