Abstract

Microscopes are one of the most important devices in so many fields. A microscope is usually used for magnifying an object or small living things. It is also important to an entomologist. To help species identification as soon as possible to prevent the mosquitoes from dead for remote fieldwork. A microscope that can bring along with the fellow entomologist to help their species identify the mosquitoes on the exact spot they’ve obtained them. A portable microscope with some additional features and advantages is the purpose of this study. There are some problems faced by them with the usage of a normal microscope. This project aims to design and fabricate a Low-Cost Portable Microscope (LCPM) develop because it creates a device that can be used by entomologists to overcome problems, they faced by using a normal microscope. By conducting a group survey, analyzing the requirements, and identifying the appropriate design concept using Conceptual Design, the House of Quality (HoQ), and Pugh Method. Furthermore, Solidworks software is used to simulate the Portable Microscope model because it allows for a better understanding of the capabilities of each material. We will be able to reduce costs and create Low-Cost Portable Microscope (LCPM) by selecting the best and durable materials.
