  • System and method for time-related microscopy of biological organisms
    Patent number: 9915813
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system and a method for determination of a value for at least one parameter describing microbial activity of individual biological organisms in a liquid sample. Images, wherein individual biological organisms may be identified, are combined to provide optical sectionings of the biological organisms and the optical sectionings are analyzed to determine the value for said at least one parameter describing microbial activity of said individual biological organisms in each sample container.

  • Optical sectioning of a sample and detection of particles in a sample
    Patent number: 9841593
    Abstract: An apparatus for obtaining a plurality of images of a sample includes a sample device suitable for holding a liquid sample; a first optical detection assembly including a first image acquisition device, the first optical detection assembly having an optical axis and an object plane, the object plane including an image acquisition area from which electromagnetic waves can be detected as an image by the first image acquisition device; one translation unit arranged to move the sample device and the first optical detection assembly relative to each other; and an image illumination device, wherein the apparatus is arranged to move the sample device and the first optical detection assembly relative to each other along a scanning path, which defines an angle theta relative to the optical axis, wherein theta is in the range of about 0.3 to about 89.7 degrees.

  • AN OPTICAL SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR REAL-TIME ANALYSIS OF A LIQUID SAMPLE
    Publication number: 20160069786
    Abstract: An optical system suitable for determining a characteristic as a function of time of at least a part of a liquid volume comprising a plurality of objects. The optical system provides a fast detection of a change in the liquid volume. The optical system comprises—an optical detection assembly comprising at least one image acquisition device configured to acquire images of an image acquisition area; —a sample device comprising at least one sample container suitable for holding a sample of said liquid volume; —a translating arrangement configured to translate said image acquisition area through at least one part of said sample container to perform a scan along a scanning path through said part of said sample container; and—an image analyzing processing system.

  • Optical sectioning of a sample and detection of particles in a sample
    Patent number: 8780181
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus, a method and a system for obtaining a plurality of images of a sample arranged in relation to a sample device. The apparatus comprises at least a first optical detection assembly having an optical axis and at least one translation unit arranged to move the sample device and the first optical detection assembly relative to each other. The movement of the sample device and the first optical detection assembly relative to each other is along a scanning path, which defines an angle theta relative to the optical axis, wherein theta is larger than zero.
