It was probably clunky, you looked through the lens, checked a box on a worksheet, and never thought about why it worked. In addition, optics gear is often expensive, confusing, or &#8220;black-boxed&#8221; so that you use it, but you don&#8217;t really understand it. That&#8217;s where openUC2 comes in. The team wanted to build a revolutionary product that makes you assemble your own optical tools, from a telescope to a microscope, so you can learn science as you go.
