LuxorV Posted February 17, 2010 Hi there, I just wanted to share a simple MOC I made a few weeks ago. Working on my PhD, I use a binocular microscope (Leica MZ 6, for anyone interested), and one day I decided to try and make a LEGO version of it. (click to see the gallery) And here is its actual form, in use for high resolution, very very important paleontological studies Comments and critics are welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted February 17, 2010 Very interesting Very clever Very good - 'RasV' ! You caught every detail possible to relayed it in Lego ! I'm a conformist! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ras 74 Posted February 17, 2010 Indeed very simple, but yet also very good to fit in minifig scale RasV Always great to get a referance picture, and I am interested in what the real thing is called. Even though it doesn´t mean a thing to me, nore will I remember it, but it adds a fun fact about the MOC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted February 17, 2010 Nice MOC. If I ever do an update to my crime lab, I will put one of these in :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prateek Posted February 18, 2010 Wow, that's so simple. Great job nonetheless, and good luck on your PhD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samurai-turtle Posted February 18, 2010 Looks fairly accurate. But why can you use this? I think it looks like a microscope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxorV Posted February 18, 2010 Very interesting Very clever Very good - 'RasV' !You caught every detail possible to relayed it in Lego ! I'm a conformist! ! Thank you, lightningtiger! I do my best Indeed very simple, but yet also very good to fit in minifig scale RasV Always great to get a referance picture, and I am interested in what the real thing is called. Even though it doesn´t mean a thing to me, nore will I remember it, but it adds a fun fact about the MOC I'm glad you appreciate the little 'meta-data' (or simply extra description details) I added. I too like it when builders link to reference material: I think it adds a better insight on the origin of a model and helps undertand the use of some techniques. Nice MOC.If I ever do an update to my crime lab, I will put one of these in :) Fell free to use it Wow, that's so simple. Great job nonetheless, and good luck on your PhD Thank you, prateek. Actually, I defended my PhD thesis on the 5th of February, so now I'll need luck to find a new job Looks fairly accurate. But why can you use this? I think it looks like a microscope Simply because I didn't think about it That, and because the two pieces I have in that shape are one in Dark Grey and the other in Dark Turquoise, which would stand out quite a bit when compared to the original item LuxorV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
