Abstract: A guided tracheal intubation system using an autonomous modulated light source, outputting modulated illumination at a constant level, and externally applied to the subject's larynx region. An optical imaging system receives a video stream from within the subject's throat, including modulated illumination from the subject's trachea. A display control system performs signal processing on the modulated content of the images, and outputs frames of those images in which the intensity level of illumination from the trachea can be controlled without any need to change the illumination output from the modulated light source. The light source has no connection with the rest of the system, and need contain no more than a battery, a power supply circuit and a light source. It can therefore be of low cost and can be made disposable, such as in the form of an adhesive patch applied to the subject's neck.

Abstract: A microscope for computational imaging may include an illumination source configured to illuminate a sample with a plurality of wavelengths, an image sensor, an objective lens to image the sample onto the image sensor, and a processor operatively coupled to the illumination assembly and the image sensor. The processor may be configured to acquire a first image dataset from the sample illuminated using a first set of illumination conditions at a first wavelength. The processor may also be configured to acquire a second image dataset from the sample illuminated using a second set of illumination conditions having a second number of illumination conditions at a second wavelength. The second set of illumination conditions comprises fewer illumination conditions than the first set in order to decrease acquisition time. The processor may be configured to combine the first and second image datasets into a computationally reconstructed image of the sample.

A processor can be configured to allow a remote user to access a portion of an image at full or partial resolution while other portions of the sample are being scanned, or while one or more images are generated or uploaded at full or partial resolution. A processor stored locally with the microscope can be configured to allow a remote user to access a completed scan over the internet prior to the scan being fully uploaded over a network such as the internet to a remote server. In some embodiments, a processor may be coupled to a microscope, a user device, or a remote server.
