Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Team completed the first on-site visit in San Diego
Hand-on experience of microscope attachment confirmed complications of mounting
Lack of pinhole illumination apparent
Lack of appropriate magnification in certain cases
Risk reduction/ initial prototyping begun
Parts ordered
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Initial Design proposal developed
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Have CAD models of filters (Daniel)
Have list of potential off the shelf rack and pinion, sliders, or lead screws for purchase (Carlos)
Have software results for webcam tests (Justin)
Have lenses purchased/further development for short tube microscope (Kevin)
Microscope Mount design decided (Team)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Ideally the entire system under 5” system with the camera included
Big deal for field service engineers
Works and easy to transport
Functionality and safe
Splitting microscope apart for 6.3” is potentially a good idea
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Focus on areas risks and areas of concerns for future progress reports
Reconfirm the need of a 60Hz camera - find out human eye frequency (Carlos)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Potentially contact team 6 from previous quarter for additional camera selection (Carlos)
Utilize different technology for linear slider capabilities e.g. lead screws
Develop a lock system for the microscope
Risks and Areas of Concern
Original concern regarding the feasibility of creating a shortened microscope tube length
Prototyping will continue this week
Creating a mounting system that can be mounted to all cytometers
Design solutions will be narrowed down for final selection
Software capabilities
Webcam/ mock environment risk reduction will be performed
Filter lighting systems for pinholes
CAD models completed by beginning of Week 3 and begin design solution development
