<h2> TO DO </h2>  
- fix current microscope stage by adding linear rails - constraints
    - not side rails but lay them flat to maximiza load tolerance
    - add constraint pins to linear rails
    - update CAD model
    - order
- make a new microscope stage using the drawing inspired by the confocal's stage
    - CAD model
    - order
- fix current syringe pump
    - 3DP middle moving part so that leadscrew is tight
- fix computer vision
    - light source from top? works better
    - light source and camera from top?
    - calibrate camera
- debug Jake's board for network machine control
    - you need one more stepper motor board
    - test to see if you can talk indepedently to each axis through the rheoprinter console
    - demonstrate square-wave pattern and real-time tuning of width using Nelder-Mead
