  • Method to distinguish and analyze white blood cells in the presence of red blood cells
    Patent number: 10788413
    Abstract: Method for distinguishing between red blood cells and white blood cells. The method includes obliquely illuminating the blood sample with light from at least two rotational angles and analyzing light side scattered from cells in the sample to provide accurate discrimination of white blood cell types based on the anisotropy of red blood cell side scatter as compared to more isotropic white blood cell side scatter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2020
    Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Jason Michael Tucker-Schwartz, Shivang R. Dave

  • System for wide field-of-view, highly oblique illumination microscopy for scatter-based discrimination of cells
    Patent number: 9772282
    Abstract: System for scatter-based differentiation of cells. The system includes a planar substrate having cells disposed thereon for imaging and a microscope employing relatively low magnification detection optics providing a wide field of view focused on the cells on the substrate and defining a microscope optical axis. An illuminator delivers light to the ceils on the substrate focused to a spot larger than the field of view of the microscope, the illuminator having an illumination optical axis highly oblique to the microscope optical axis wherein scattered light is collected by the microscope. A defection system receives the scattered light from the microscope to provide a measure of signal intensity and a measure of size for each cell for discrimination of cell type.
