Imaging systems and algorithms to analyze biological samples in real-time using mobile phone microscopy

Abstract: Miniaturized imaging devices have pushed the boundaries of point-of-care imaging, but existing mobile-phone-based imaging systems do not exploit the full potential of smart phones. This work demonstrates the use of simple imaging configurations to deliver superior image quality and the ability to handle a wide range of biological samples. Results presented in this work are from analysis of fluorescent beads under fluorescence imaging, as well as helminth eggs and freshwater mussel larvae under white light imag… Show more

“…Shanmugam et al used 3D printing to fabricate a custom designed mobile phone microscopy support unit. This unit perfectly aligns the sample compartment with simple optics and a mobile phone camera ( Figure 10 A) [ 116 ]. They also proposed a holder that can incorporate a microfluidic chamber for analyzing flowing samples rather than stationary samples ( Figure 10 B).…”
