Notes:

Distance from microscope to C-Mount is 61.21 mm.

Add 5 mm since using CS-mount camera rather than C-mount camera.

Total distance should be 66.21 to mounting flange of CS-mount camera.

Current distance in model is 64.772mm, which gives 1.438 mm of space

3.119 mm of room between mount and cube.
