Abstract
Biological systems and methods of using same are disclosed. The systems comprise a biological imaging device and a mobile computing device in communication therewith. The biological imaging device includes a single-board computer embedded with control software, enabling remote operation and image acquisition from the mobile computing device without installing the control software thereon, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and user convenience.
Claims12
A bio-imaging system comprising:
- a bio-imaging device comprising:
- an imaging subsystem including:
- a substrate holder configured to support a substrate to be imaged,
- a first mirror configured to reflect light emitted or transmitted by the substrate through the substrate holder,
- a second mirror configured to reflect light reflected by the first mirror,
- a lens configured to focus light reflected by the second mirror, and
- a camera configured to capture light focused by the lens;
- and
- a control subsystem including:
- a main control board configured to control operation of the imaging subsystem, and
- a single board computer configured to be embedded with control software and to communicate with the main control board and a mobile computing device that is in operable communication with the bio-imaging device;
- and
- a data network in operable communication with the bio-imaging device,
- wherein a user interface configured to control the bio-imaging device is accessible via a web browser associated with the mobile computing device without requiring installation of any control software.
