## What is the FRAME Microscope?

The **FRAME** (Fast Rigid Automated Microscope Engine) represents a new approach to microscopy: an open, modular, automated, and flexibly adaptable microscope system. Based on the modular optics construction kit UC2 (You.See.Too.), the FRAME system lowers barriers to access complex optical and microscopy technology.

The FRAME system is built on complete modularization of all components regarding mechanics, electronics, and software:

- **Interchangeable Modules**: Cube modules can be freely exchanged to switch between brightfield, fluorescence, or interference microscopy
- **Flexible Mechanics**: Allows both classical objective setups and free arrangement for special geometries
- **Flexible Mechanics**: Allows both, classical objective setups and free arrangements for special geometries
- **Smart Electronics**: Each cube can optionally have its own control unit for motors, galvo mirrors, or LEDs. All components share the same CAN BUS via 12V supply voltage.
- **Open Interface**: System control via user-friendly graphical interface or programming interface (Python, REST, CAN BUS, USB)
