🔬 Making a rotating microscope stage for polarization microscopy | Amateur Microscopy

For polarized microscopiy, it can be necessary to have a stage that rotates the slide (and not only moves it in X and Y directions). These stages are expensive and difficult to get. I therefore propose a DIY method for making one yourself. Please post comments for improvements! Equipment used: Omano OM36: https://www.microscope.com/compound-m...
