Hi all;
Greetings from Turkey!
My macro rig system finally finished.
I wanted to share it's specifications with you.
All system is placed onto a solid wooden table.
Controller and wires are placed/taped on the table.
Specifications;
1-) Motion sytem ;
Double motion sytems with a combined modified Wemacro rail and a Newport 436 linear stage.
Both have 400 stepper motors.
Both are controlled by Wemacro controller unit.
Just change the plug and use the one preferred.
Wemacro rail has 0.5um step size;
Newport 436 with AJS-100-2 has 0.125mm step size.
Also DM-13 differential micrometer is used to manually move the rail for precise framing.
It's step size is 0.5um/div on fine side and 10um/div on coarse side;

2-) Anti Vibration ;
Reduced the vibration issues by NBR blocks which are placed between the marble plate and the wooden table.
Also placed many sticky rubber pads placed between the marble plate and wooden main mount plate.
There are also sticky rubber pads under the legs od the solid wooden table.

3-) Specimen Holder ;
Own designed specimen holder with a solid ballhead, a XY linear stage and some plates/clamps.
It is mounted to wooden main mount plate.
Precise UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT specimen movement.
Easy to adjust the position according to the lens with a solid ballhead.
I use another mount system for Lomo RMS lenses so the height needs to be adjusted when I change the mount system.
