  • Systems and related methods of imaging and classifying cells in a blood sample
    Patent number: 10684206
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying blood cells in a blood sample are disclosed. A series of frames of the blood sample as it flows through a field of view of an image capture device are captured and analysed. Advantageously, the disclosed systems and methods combine the availability of morphological cell data with the convenience of a flow-through arrangement. The classification results can be used for estimating cell counts in a blood sample.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 29, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2020
    Assignee: Biosurfit, S.A.
    Inventors: Francisco Correia De Matos Nolasco Lamas, João Manuel De Oliveira Garcia Da Fonseca, André Do Rosário Magalhães, José Pedro Santos Manso Co̊rte-Real, Ricardo Manuel Marques Caleiro Cabeça

  • Focusing method
    Patent number: 9832366
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for focusing an imaging device on a liquid sample flowing through a field of view of the imaging device. Objects are segmented in the captured frames and used to account for the fact that the sample is flowing. Object velocities are calculated and used in selecting an appropriate focus value. The calculation of a focus measure takes account of the number of objects in captured frames in order to ensure a consistent calculation of the focus measure.
