A Sneak Peek at OE3.B3
The next iteration—OE3.B3—is already in the works. Based on the feedback we received from the community, we’ve made several improvements that will enhance both performance and usability. Here’s what’s new:
Fully Adjustable 3-Axis Phone Positioner: You can now position your phone precisely with three adjustable axes, ensuring perfect alignment with the microscope’s eyepiece.
Enhanced Clamping System: A stronger eyepiece clamp will provide even more stability during use.
Multiple Clamp Sizes: To accommodate different eyepiece sizes, we’re introducing both larger and smaller eyepiece clamps for improved compatibility.
These updates are designed to offer a better user experience by allowing the adapter to securely attach to the eyepiece first, followed by precise camera adjustments. This eliminates the need to remove and reattach the adapter for alignment tweaks, making it easier and faster to use.
We’re really looking forward to these improvements and can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this new design!
