Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Fiber Optic Microscope Ring Light!
Ғылым және технология
Adam recently received a set of screws that are so small he can't see them with the naked eye. So to examine them, he takes out his high-powered inspection microscope and spends the day disassembling and upgrading it with a fiber optic ring light!

You can buy a camera specifically for use in one of these microscopes, I am trying to get my boss to order one for me. There is a bit of lag so its not ideal for viewing intricate work but for just capturing images its great. you can get them for under $100 easy on amazon.
@7:00 A bit of a tip - when you have a lot of screws of different length that you really don't want to loose, you can punch them through cardboard, or even better - *draw a shape of the object and punch the screws through cardboard in their corresponding place.* This way not only you'd know where each screw/bolt goes, but they're also reasonably well secured, and won't roll around.

Awesome build! The arm of the stand appears to be hollow. Maybe you could run the fiber cable through this arm to tidy it up even more?
"When I zoom in it changes the focus." Always zoom in to focus. Then zoom out. When zoomed in, there is a smaller depth of focus, so it's more picky when zoomed in. If the scope doesn't stay in focus when you zoom out, you should be able to adjust this with the eye pieces. Using one eye, adjust the eyepiece a bit, say a half a turn. Then re-focus. Then zoom out. If the focus is even worse when you zoom out, then turn the eyepiece in the other direction. After you get it "parfocal" then adjust the other eyepiece to match. I'm pretty sure Adam doesn't read instructions. But maybe this will help someone else.

One of the eyetubes is adjustable, the other needs to have a setscrew loosened to adjust it for parfocal. The B&L StereoZoom 4 is the gold standard of stereo microscopes even after 50+ years. Leica bought them out and continued to use the same form factor for years. Note to Adam: Do not attempt to disassemble it farther than you did in the video, you'll knock it out of alignment. If you need to clean the internal lenses, either send it to a qualified repairman, or ask for proper instructions so you don't brick it. Oh, and put that damn gasket back in! Edit: Also if you decide to lube it make sure to use nonvolatile grease, fumes from the grease drying out will fog the lenses over time. The eyepieces you have with it are susceptible to having the doublet lens glue separate. They can be repaired but it's tricky getting it right without introducing contaminates that will be visible.

My father died two years ago and left behind his workshop. Which included a drill press and a small lathe (one that I had to carry with two friends into the basement, so much fun) Whe didn't have much contact since we had our differences, but discovering his workshop bit by bit gives me a kind of connection to him we rarely had. And through your videos I start to understand what all this stuff he left behind is for, and what he may have used it for. Because the first time I saw the lathe, I had no idea what that thing does :D So, thanks so much for doing these videos, it feels a bit like an uncle explaining what my father did as a hobby :)

Mapping the screws out in the position they where in is a great practice. Particularly in the mobile phone repair industry. The iPhone has 10s of acres that are all different. Some don't look different. But if installed incorrectly can damage the device. This also works well for washers bolts and other things that you disassemble. Placing stuff in the order you removed them can save you hours trying to figure out how something is put back together.
This round material became one of my favourites. As I watched you cutting it I remembered my own experiences. I came across a company in London on a trading estate that had gone out of business and was dumping a lot of material in a skip. It was in massive lengths and to big to get in a car so I ended up using the college minibus to transport it. The stuff weighs a ton in 12 ft lengths and The bus ended up full. They duped a whole range of materials and in lots of different colours. I grabbed a lot of the larger diameters for my own workshop and still have a lot of it left. Great for adapters and large washers and bushings.

I never bothered to look up the transmission curve of the fibers - because you CAN feel something when they're turned up, I suspect that a bit of IR is coming through. In any case it's your tissue heating up, NOT "feeling UV".
The fiber optic lighting setup existed because at the time the microscope was manufactured, LED lights had not been invented yet, and there was no room above the inspection area for a bulky, hot, incandescent light. Nowadays the fiber optic system is an archaic curiosity.

17:10 Why do you zero the DRO, then calculate how much to take off? Can't you set the DRO to the dimension you have (3" in this case), then move it in to where it needs to be (2.4")? BTW, if you're doing it the calculate way, a digital caliper is easier as it can be zeroed then set to the dimension you want. Then when you measure the part, the caliper will display the difference. And "roughly 2.4 inches" could have been 60mm.

Looking for a lathe and a milling machine on ebay, they're a couple thousand dollars each (say $3000 each), coming to $6000. Band saw and table saw at $1500 each push that to $9000. Then there's a lot of other tools and tooling for the big tools, so I'm guessing that tools combined worth (or replacement value) would be between $15000 and $20000, so total equipment might very well be over $20,000 worth to replace. Since I'm just guessing, this might be off by a factor two. And that's ignoring all the furniture, costumes, props, collectibles, doodads and thingamajigs, and a lot of things that we've never even seen. Also: don't get any ideas breaking in and stealing his stuff. Most of these things are very hard to move (you don't exactly put a milling machine in your back pocket), hard to sell (who'd want to buy a space suit that doesn't know/care that it was stolen from Adam?) or both.
I love these so much. I love the lofi camera work. Adam's looks to the camera and his unashamed mistakes. A lot of makers are doing this kind of no frills videos and I honestly, it's just what I need.

Thanks for inspiring everyday projects like this.
When you pulled out the equipment it reminded me of the days when I used to count the air voids in hardened concrete. We used a Bausch and Lomb stereo microscope and a fiber optic light, we didn't use the ring we had a flexible tube because we needed oblique lighting. I never imagined I'd ever see the equipment again.
For a man who says he's not an educator, you certainly do some impressive educating.

It’s a stereomicroscope, what you see is actually in 3D. There are many brands you can buy for a few hundred dollars on eBay. Leica is a great one...you can also get attachments to hook up a video camera, as well as increase magnification.
Working in a computer shop for years and dealing with many screws we would use Ice Cube trays to sort the screws as we disassembled equipment. Similar to how you lay out the screws in order. This way you avoid lightly brushing the screw with something and messing up the order.

OH! I had no idea that little tail was a depth gauge. Thanks, Adam. There's my "new thing every day" learning done. :-)

There's a step gauge on calipers too. They'e inside, outside, depth and step gauges. The step gauge is on the other side from the depth gauge.

Me neither!
I just decided that I'm going to press the like button more often on this type of content from Tested and Adam because it is my favorite content here on KZread. Nice.
While seeing your finger and associated injury was inordinately fascinating, I was quite disappointed by the fact that we did not get to see those itty bitty screws you showed in the beginning. Great vid man!
...it's always a pleasure to watch Adam buidling something...! :D ...this clip inspired me to 3d-print a new tripod for my usb-microscope...!
off camera random rumaging noises are the best, cause im always waiting for him to come back with some unique part or oddly specific tool
Nice job. I have a vintage bifocal microscope from Russia that I bought on eBay, 20 years ago. You are making me want to pull it out and put a USB optic in one eyepiece so I can project the images directly to my 32" monitor.
5:55 You can screw a Barlow lens into that port to tune the focal length. Then the clamping screws of the cold light source fasten to the Barlow lens
these on the phone on your own videos have been my favorite more human and feels more personal keep up the great work!!
My jealousy over your awesome microscope is palpable, I would love to have one of these for doing my electronics repairs!
Hello Adam. Now that you've got some magnification you should try hunting for Tardigrades and other critters; just look for standing pond water. There's a lot of fun stuff to see even at 50x.

What became of Testeds "Off World" sub-series???
I know it wasn't an important build where the threads were critical, but if there's one thing i've learnt about ... learning, is that whenever presented with the opportunity to learn/better ourselves, we should seize it. Be it cutting threads even if we don't need them or printing a component, but adding a twist in the print, to represent the part needed, but also a new procedure we might want to learn or cutting lumber in different methods until we find the best for us, so on.
Dude! You forgot to show us the tiny screws and instead you showed us your messed up finger! Classic Adam!
I'm spending the quarantine dismantling and rebuilding a bunch of old mechanical watches (complete with their many tiny screws!). I just bought an excellent LED light-ring for my inspection microscope for $20, that is a quarter the size of that fiber-optic unit, not even including the light source box or its huge cable. Fiber optics were great in the pre-LED days when the only other options were incandescent bulbs, or bulky fluorescent rings. Nowdays, much cheaper/better/easier options exist... On the other hand, I'd love to have an excuse to buy a lathe and a big old delrin billet :)
If only we all had a national T.V. Show to find all our really cool toys with!!!!!
We have older B&L microscopes at work, but a similar/same housing on bottom.. the part you made is a lens adding further magnification that you can of course also attach a light ring to.
You should definitely make some sort of mirror based reflective add on so that the camera can more easily be mounted to the scope!
