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 customers who want to build a custom microscope or enhance an existing system using Thorlabs' selection of illumination sources, microscopy optics, and lens tube and cage construction systems.
