Front cover

Overview

Although Benchtop mesoSPIM can be operated as is, we find that covering the front of the immersion chamber strongly reduces background in the images (not surprisingly, blocking the light from PC monitor and other sources, even in a "dark" room). Why not make a 3D printable cover, with an integrated webcam that will work as a viewfinder?

The cover CAD model can be found here. It is compatible with low-cost USB cams such as DFRobot FIT0701 (10$). The camera is attached with 4x M3 screws, which are press-fit into the 3D printed cover.
