Well I just did some cleaning in my life and got a lot more time to devote to this project. I decided to totally deviate from the McWire Z state, I think it could be done better. So I designed one using acrylic plastic instead of steel. To the left are the main supports for the Z stage and whatever tool will be attached. I really like this color, but locally they only had it in 1/8" so I special ordered it in 1/4". The price was great. I have kept the protective paper on there to avoid any scratches while I'm sawing and drilling.
The thing will work like a classical microscope, instead of an eyepiece going up and down I will have a tool going up and down.
