DIY Cerna Components: Imaging for Home Builders

Thorlabs’ Cerna^® microscopy platform addresses the needs of DIY microscopists and system developers. Designed to be completely modular, its broad selection of components enables fully customized setups for widefield viewing, epi-illumination, transmitted light imaging, and laser scanning with in vivo and in vitro specimens. Its large throat depth of 7.74" defines an exceptionally large working volume, and a system of dovetails makes it simple to mate compatible components together and position them in and around the optical path.

DIY Cerna components are ideal for building a microscope or enhancing an existing system using Thorlabs' selection of illumination sources, microscopy optics, and lens tube and cage construction systems.
