Abstract: The invention relates to a microplate (10) for microscopy of an organoid (30), comprising: a body (11) having at least one recess (20), the recess (20) being adapted to contain and restrict movement of the organoid (30), and a reflective surface (40), the reflective surface (40) being inclined in relation to the recess (20), such that an incoming beam of light towards the microplate (10) is directed onto the organoid (30) in a substantially horizontal direction.

Abstract: A method based on digital holography for determining parameters of at least one erythrocyte is provided, said method comprising the steps of: constructing an interference pattern comprising a wave front representative of said at least one erythrocyte arised from the interaction of said at least one erythrocyte and electromagnetic radiation, reconstructing amplitude-and phase information representative of said at least one erythrocyte wave front from said interference pattern and determining the mean corpuscular volume and/or mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration and/or oxygen saturation and/or mean corpuscular hemoglobin of at least one erythrocyte by combining phase information and amplitude information representative of said at least one erythrocyte.

Abstract: A method and device for determining refractive index of an object compared to a refractive index of a surrounding medium. The object is exposed to a laser object beam and the scattered light interferes with a laser reference beam to obtain a hologram. The hologram is analyzed for phase information, and based thereon, it is determined if the refractive index of the object is higher or lower than the refractive index of the surrounding medium.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining the concentration of a first component in a mixture of at least two components, which have different absorption properties in the IR range, comprises image recording means which are adapted to image the mixture by means of IR radiation to produce at least one image. The apparatus further comprises image processing means which, with the aid of intensity values for pixels in the image which represent the mixture, determine the concentration of the first component in the mixture.

Abstract: In automatic evaluation of cereal kernels or like granular products handled in bulk, the kernels are conveyed on a vibrating conveyor belt (15). Owing to the vibrations, the kernels are spread and settled in grooves (14) in the belt so as to be oriented in essentially the same direction. A video camera (40) produces digital images of all the kernels on the belt. The kernels are identified in the images, and for each kernel input signals are produced and then sent to a neural network based on picture element values for the picture elements representing each kernel. A neural network then determines which of a plurality of predetermined classes that each kernel belongs.

Abstract: The flour yield, protein content and bulk density of cereal kernels can be determined by producing images of the cereal kernels, at least one color parameter and/or at least one geometric parameter are determined for the cereal kernels, and input signals to a neural network are produced by means of the color parameter and/or the geometric parameter. If the neural network is trained in some suitable manner, it can determine the flour yield, protein content and bulk density on the basis of the input signals.
