Welcome to the STIMscope wiki!

Here is the recommended sequence to get everything up and running:

• Place the large optical breadboard on a stable, vibration-free surface (a heavy lab table or desk works well).
• Assemble the post/stand on top of the breadboard.
• Attach the objective to the optical path, then secure the 3D-printed cube to both the stand and the breadboard using the 1/4-20 cap screw shown in the reference photo I sent.
• Inspect every lens and mirror for dust or smudges. If cleaning is needed, use only optical-grade tissues and an appropriate lens-cleaning solution.
• Mount the DMD unit on the breadboard, align it with the optical axis using the xyz controller, and lock the position. Use a fluorescent slide to make sure the alignment is correct.
• Connect the image sensor and the DMD to your PC, verify that both function correctly.
