July 1 – building the construction (hardware)

The creation of the first dermoscope is coming to a conclusion. Concerning the hardware of the apparatus the construction is nearly finished. The lifting mechanism is also operational. The missing elements are: setting the camera and the lighting on the lifting carrier, and also connecting the apparatus with the software.

The skeleton is composed of ALU profiles. The stepper motor has been programmed with Arduino. We also had to design a couple of binding elements which we 3D printed. The motor is located on the top of the construction and pulls the strap which holds the carrier for the camera and the lighting. The are also two switches that control and mark the lifting space of the camera.
