Has anyone out there fabricated or worked with a fabricator to design a 
hardened case that protects the body and lens of a Scalar 
Scope-on-a-Rope video microscope? If so, we'd love to know what you 
learned from your experience.

We're revising a low-cost prototype casing (around $150) that will 
provide increased protection for the scope and lens, minimize scope 
movement, and minimize stress on the electrical wiring/power cord 
leaving the scope case. (specifically, we're having trouble with a 
stress point where the wires leave the scope--they are degrading way too 
fast)

If you have any lessons learned, things to consider or best practices 
about a scope casing that you would be willing to share, we'd really 
appreciate your input! Thank you!

Kind regards,
Michele
