Imaging System and Method for Biomedical Analysis

Abstract

An automated optical cytology system is provided that is suitable for analyzing samples in field conditions. The system (100) includes a micro-fluidic chip (102), an imager (104) and an image processor (106). The chip (200) includes an analysis chamber (218) for receiving a sample. The chip (200) may also include a compound provided in the analysis chamber (218) that can label a target cell type in the sample. The imager (104) includes a large format light source (308) which projects light through the analysis chamber (218) and an image sensor (306). The image sensor (306) provides an image to image processor (106). The image processor (106) analyzes the image to determine parameters related to target cell types in the sample.
