Identification of pathogenic bacteria in complex samples using a smartphone based fluorescence microscope [PDF]
RSC Adv, 2018 Diagnostics based on fluorescence imaging of biomolecules is typically performed in well-equipped laboratories and is in general not suitable for remote and resource limited settings. Here we demonstrate the development of a compact, lightweight and cost-

Low-cost fluorescence microscope with microfluidic device fabrication for optofluidic applications [PDF]
HardwareX, 2023 Optofluidic devices have revolutionized the manipulation and transportation of fluid at smaller length scales ranging from micrometers to millimeters. We describe a dedicated optical setup for studying laser-induced cavitation inside a microchannel. In a

Strategies for volumetric imaging with a fluorescence microscope
Optica, 2019 Three-dimensional fluorescence imaging has been a longstanding goal for microscopists, made all the more challenging when aiming for a trifecta of resolution, speed, and field of view. The purpose of this review is to summarize some current strategies in

Stiffness Measurement of Soft Silicone Substrates for Mechanobiology Studies Using a Widefield Fluorescence Microscope. [PDF]
J Vis Exp, 2018 Soft tissues in the human body typically have stiffness in the kilopascal (kPa) range. Accordingly, silicone and hydrogel flexible substrates have been proven to be useful substrates for culturing cells in a physical microenvironment that partially ...

Development of a DMD-based fluorescence microscope [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2015 We present a versatile fluorescence microscope, built by complementing a conventional fluorescence microscope with a digital micro-mirror device (DMD) in the illumination path. Arbitrary patterns can be created on the DMD and projected onto the sample.

Chip-scale fluorescence microscope based on a silo-filter complementary metal-oxide semiconductor image sensor. [PDF]
Optics Letters, 2013 We demonstrate a silo-filter (SF) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor for a chip-scale fluorescence microscope. The extruded pixel design with metal walls between neighboring pixels guides fluorescence emission through the thick ...

Adding Fluorescence to Stereo Microscopes [PDF]
Microscopy Today, 2013 Fluorescence stereo microscopes are a great and wondrous technology with light sources and optics that can be configured to illuminate a wide array of fluorophors with high sensitivity. There are many applications, however, where a user does not really need all of the power and versatility of a specialized integrated instrument: a simple system that ...
