Raspberry Pi Zero W Microscope

For more information and build instructions check out https://youtu.be/jzcHGjFiR0o

This is a low cost digital microscope that can ouput a video signal over HDMI as well as capture 1920x1080@30fps video clips. It can be modified to mount different lenses, so you can adapt it to your needs.

Although I have used aluminum for the base plate and rotary knob, those could be 3D printed like most of the other parts.
