Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Preliminary software tests in the works using webcam
Microscope mount design selected
More information gathered for microscope development
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Have CAD models of filters (Daniel)
Have list of potential off the shelf rack and pinion, sliders, or lead screws for purchase (Carlos)
Have preliminary software results with webcam tests (Justin)
Have lenses for short tube microscope selected (Kevin)
Microscope Mount design decided (Team)
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Conceptualize and Model potential filter LED system & order materials (Daniel)
Model Microscope Mount design for 3d printed prototype & select linear sliding system(Carlos)
Continue software development (Justin)
Model short tube microscope prototype and fabricate (Kevin)
Continue to integrate individual components (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)
Reconfirm the need of a 60Hz camera
The human eye can't discern past 60 Hz frame rate
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
Additional visit confirmed the selected mounting prototype
Software capabilities
Webcam/ mock environment risk reduction performed
Filter lighting systems for pinholes
CAD models completed and development of solution begun
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
On schedule for the project
This week will be focused on having concrete models completed for 3D printing
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$21.14 Spent
$1978.86 Remaining
Progress on Report and Webpage
