Overview

The head mounted scope consists of a machined Delrin housing, optical filters and lenses, an excitation light source, and CMOS imaging sensor. The mass of the system in under 3 grams and connected to the DAQ hardware using a single coaxial cable. The body and optical components can be easily hand assembled using only forceps and a torx T2 driver.
