Make Your Own Laser Scanning Microscope
https://www.electronics-lab.com/make-laser-scanning-microscope/
A laser scanning microscope (LSM) is an optical imaging technique for increasing optical resolution and contrast of micrographs. It permits a wide range of qualitative and quantitative measurements on difficult samples, including topography mapping, extended depth of focus, and 3D visualization. A laser microscope works by shining a beam of light on a subject in […]
5V to 12V @1.2A regulated power supply using LM2587
https://www.electronics-lab.com/5v-12v-1-2a-regulated-power-supply-using-lm2587/
This circuit is based on LM2587, a simple boost converter from Texas instruments. It produces a 12V regulated output for a input of 5V. It can also be used as a multiple output regulator, forward converter and as a flyback regulator. This regulator requires minimum number of external components, which makes it cost effective. Features […]
