## Remove the lens from the camera
The Raspberry Pi camera has a tiny lens and you will need to remove it for the experiments. Do this before you mount the camera to the insert. Be careful not to damage the camera chip.

The picture and the instruction are taken from the nice tutorial of the [openflexure microscope](https://build.openflexure.org/openflexure-microscope/v6.1.5/docs/#/2a_basic_optics_module?id=step-5).

Unscrew the lens from the camera module. Use the plastic tool to grip the lens module. This is a small circular part with four prongs that fits over the lens of the camera board (version 2 only) as shown. To remove the lens, push the removal tool onto the lens (just the top part, with the little plastic flanges) and turn anticlockwise to remove it.

Once you've removed the lens, be sure to place the camera face down on the desk, or put a piece of tape over the square black lens holder; this will help stop dust settling on the sensor, which is extremely hard to clean.
