Teaching & Workshops
Hands-on optics education from geometric optics to fluorescence
openUC2 was born in the classroom. The modular cube system is the ideal platform for teaching optics, microscopy, and imaging at every level — from high school physics to graduate biophotonics courses. Students build real instruments, experiment with optical principles, and develop an intuition for how light works.

Key capabilities
Build real instruments
Students assemble actual microscopes — not simulations. They understand optics by doing.
Scaffolded curriculum
Learning path from analog optics through electronics to digital fluorescence microscopy.
Reusable and durable
Injection-molded cubes and magnetic connections survive classroom use. No glue, no alignment.
Global workshop network
50+ workshops run worldwide. On-site and virtual teacher training available.
