Anyone in #rotherham #sheffield #doncaster or nearby with an interest in #DIYscience or #experimental #filmmaking should check out my microscope, which I'm selling to pay for a mobility aid.

It comes with a bespoke smartphone holder, so you can easily record and even livestream the teeny tiny wildlife you find in your local environment. It also comes with a guide on how to find microscopic critters and how to treat them well while they are under your attentive care!

Local pick-up will save you a bunch of money and save me a lot of hassle - I really don't want this thing to get damaged in transit.

This is a #mutualaid request: I need the money to pay for a mobility scooter, as I've become almost housebound due to MS and Long COVID. Boosts greatly appreciated.

🎉Wow, a homemade Michelson interferometer that's "likely" the cheapest! 🎈 Because, of course, what else would you do with a 3D printer besides trying to feebly replicate decades-old scientific equipment? 🤣 Clearly, the #photonics world has been eagerly awaiting this groundbreaking innovation from a tech hobbyist!🛠️✨

Picked up dead bugs, scraped algae, sliced onions then threw them under my 3D printed microscope.

Took some wild pics. What would you want to look at up close?
