Hi, for a specific application I would like to increase the Z travel range, to be able to focus on a microfluidic structure ~ 3 mm above the usual focal plane, i.e. move forth and back from the slide.
Seemingly, I can only get ~2.5 mm of Z travel with the objective - is there a way, e.g. to somewhere add more clearance for the actuator arm, so it gets stuck at a later point? A single mm or two of additional travel would already help me. When I move the objective directly up and down by hand, I have the feeling that a little more travel should actually be possible.
Alternatively, is there a parameter in OpenSCAD to tweak the construction of the Z axis, without affecting the other parts of the microscope too much?
