This is a promise of the future dream, not a factual statement about the present situation. Right?

What Raspberry Pi did for embedded computing — making professional-grade capability accessible and configurable — UC2 does for optical systems.
This paragraph needs to be moved to be after the next paragraph, since the next paragraph answers the question raised at the end of the previous paragraph. Right now this paragraph breaks the flow of the story.
the freedom to modify those tools
maybe "the power to make and modify tools to match their own needs and interests"?
Build your own microscope from scratch, customize every component, and share your designs with the community.
What problem does this solve for the customer? I think I know the answer, but I think this page needs to articulate the value proposition more clearly. In other words, replace this sentence (or the previous sentence) with a one-sentence summary of the "Build it yourself" box from lower on the page.
Open Platform
"Open Platform" isn't a product in any sense of the word "product". "Community" isn't a product, either. This is a symptom of the contents/message of this page belonging elsewhere in the website, which in turn is probably a sign that we need to be clearer in articulating to ourselves what openUC2's product strategy is, and how non-product intiiatives (e.g. "open platform" & "community" relate to our products).
a community-developed
At this point, it's a bit misleading to say "community-developed". FRAME depends on openUC2's fork of ImSwitch which is entirely developed by our company. Maybe you could say "open-source" instead.
Day 2: Assemble from modulesDay 3: First data acquisition
Compared to the traditional vendor, it looks like openUC2 doesn't need to do any delivery. That sounds good to be true! Did the LLM invent teleportation for us?
beneath
"above" or "over", not "beneath"
Slide cubes in and out
Maybe you mean "slide optical engines in and out"?
optical column
Maybe "optical engine" instead?

The word "Research" may be a bit misleading here. End-users in bio research fields understand themselves as researchers, but some of them should go to the "Professional & Industry" path instead (but they might not understand that it applies to them). And some of them probably won't see themselves as a "I need to prototype fast" kind of person. Maybe "engineers" or "hardware developers" or "developers" or "technologists" could be a more suitable term?
platform
Maybe "ecosystem" is a more precise word here? The FRAME itself is one platform.
Try the Configurator
This link instead belongs in the next section, which has a screenshot of the configurator.
magnetically
It's not magnetic coupling anymore, right?
Each cube holds exactly one optical element — a lens, a mirror, a beamsplitter, an LED, or a camera.
This is almost a duplicate of a sentence in the previous paragraph above.

Normally I'd expect these to go to "Solutions" pages, not "Products" pages: the same product will be useful as solutions for different audiences.
