  • Publication number: 20250216308
    Abstract: A cartridge for imaging a biological sample is disclosed. The cartridge includes a housing including: (i) a port and (ii) a recess for receiving the biological sample. The cartridge additionally includes a gasket surrounding at least a of portion the recess of the housing, wherein the gasket includes at least one wall defining a boundary of a reservoir, wherein the reservoir includes the recess, and wherein the reservoir is in fluid communication with the port. The cartridge further includes a sheet interfaced with the at least one wall of the gasket, wherein when the at least one wall is interfaced with the sheet, the reservoir is defined as an area between the at least one wall, the recess of the housing, and a surface of the sheet, and wherein the sheet is optically transparent.

  • Publication number: 20250209836
    Abstract: A digital microscope and a method to use the same include an imaging sensor defining a microscope optical axis, a light source spaced apart from the imaging sensor, a diffuser lens optically coupled to the light source, a mask optically coupled to the diffuser, a sample holder to hold a cartridge positioned between the imaging sensor and the light source, and a controller communicatively coupled to the imaging sensor. The mask restricts the passage of light beams outside of a range between about 8 degrees and about 40 degrees with respect to the microscope optical axis. The controller includes a processor and a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to capture a plurality of images of a liquid sample in the cartridge with the imaging sensor, and identify one or more constituents within the liquid sample based on the plurality of images.

  • Publication number: 20250182276
    Abstract: An apparatus includes: a sample chamber having at least one depth dimension configured to allow an object of interest to move, where the object of interest has a size of at least 100 micrometers; an imaging device configured to capture images of the sample chamber, where the imaging device includes a single objective lens and has a resolving power of approximately 25 micrometers or larger than 25 micrometers; at least one processor; and at least one memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed, cause the apparatus to: access at least one image, captured by the imaging device, of at least a portion of the sample chamber; processing the at least one image to provide an indication of one of: an object of interest, no object of interest, or a location in the sample chamber of a potential object of interest; and providing an output based on the indication.

  • Publication number: 20250057414
    Abstract: A monocular and/or a binocular system may be used to generate one or more images, or videos, of a subject's retina by scanning in one or two directions in one or two dimensions to, for example, measure and/or report fixation, smooth pursuit, and/or saccadic responses of the subject's eye. The scanning and/or image generation process may be optimized to correct for distortions in the subject's eye and/or improve SNR among one or a plurality of retinal images. In some cases, the retinal images may be used to train a retinal feature detection model and/or algorithm that may be used to make predictions and/or inferences regarding a visual pattern showing features of subsequently received retinal images. These models and/or predicted patterns present within the models may be used by the retinal feature detection model and/or algorithm to monitor features of the retina and, in some instances, track voluntary and/or involuntary eye motion.

  • Publication number: 20160370210
    Abstract: The invention is directed to modular flexible sensor arrays that are adaptable, easy to manufacture, and which reduce material waste. A method of making a modular flexible sensor array is provided, including the steps of applying at least one sensing element to a first substrate to form at least one sensor, applying at least one electrically conductive interconnect to a surface of a second flexible substrate, and coupling the at least one sensor to the at least one electrically conductive interconnect such that the at least one sensor is electrically connected thereto.

  • Publication number: 20100032005
    Abstract: A system and a method for capturing solar energy are disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving light at a plurality of lenses, communicating the light from respective ones of the plurality of lenses toward respective ones of a plurality of dichroic mirrors, and transmitting respective first portions of the light through the respective ones of the dichroic mirrors toward respective first photovoltaic cells. The method also includes reflecting respective second portions of the light off of the respective ones of the dichroic mirrors toward respective adjacent ones of the dichroic mirrors, where the first portions are within a first wavelength range and the second portions are within a second wavelength range, and reflecting the respective second portions of the light off of the respective adjacent ones of the dichroic mirrors toward respective second photovoltaic cells.
