OuR MISSION
The Raspberry Pi for Optics:
A Platform for tinkering
with light and photons
Discover the possibilities of rapid prototyping and endless customizability.
OpenUC2 makes cost-effective, cutting-edge research accessible to a large community by increasing flexibility and enabling deeper insights. Like a LEGOⓇ-style system for optics, our modular cube system allows easy assembly and reconfiguration of optical components, enabling rapid prototyping and endless applications.
