  • Patent number: 8195404
    Abstract: The system records the movement of tiny organisms housed in closed micro plates traversed by an infrared beam generating a signal as a function of the diffraction caused by the body of the microorganism. The behavior detection procedure includes processing the diffraction signal to discriminate the locomotor activity of the microorganism. The system may be used in the chronobiological field, longevity, toxicity, and pharmacology studies.
