### Iris holder for Amazon microscope
For consumer grade microscope to unlock the power of 100x objective lense

- Iris: [Amazon product: B0F83V9SF4](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F83V9SF4)
- Microsope: [Amazon Product: B0DGCX95RC](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DGCX95RC)

Image shows old slide with mature azotobacter cysts with 100x objective lense and 40x camera lense. Without the iris those were just blobs.

### Why?
At the objective lense 20x and above(40x, 100x), without iris, we start hitting the diffraction limits. Thus, the objective lenses are not usable unless iris is installed.

Big thanks to [Grok @xAI](https://x.com/xAI) for helping me troubleshoot the issue.

### Detials
- **Note**: You will need to 2 of M2x10 or M2x8 screws - "native" microscope screws are too short.
- Part height: 5mm
- Print with adaptive quality, 20-50 % infill,
- Printing time:
- 20 minutes for the mount
- 3 minutes for the handle extension
- For customizations use FreeCAD v 0.21.2
