Dear List,

I am looking for  a simple and most importantly stable inverted microscope design/layout for fluorescence microscopy and single particle tracking. It should consist of readily available "Lego bricks" (e.g. Thorlabs parts) and be versatile so that additional components can be added later. Thorlabs seems to prefer a design in which the objective is mounted on a damped post as in their optical tweezers setup (http://www.thorlabs.com/NewGroupPage9.cfm?ObjectGroup_ID=3959) , but I am not sure if this is the most stable layout.

Thank you!

Jens
