Abstract
The present disclosure describes an automated system for physically manipulating sample fluids, capturing images of sample fluids and detecting the presence of particles, characterizing the particles by their features (e.g., size, shape, etc.), and/or identifying particles based on those characteristics.
Claims19
A system for detecting one or more particles in a sample fluid, comprising:
- a motor for providing angular momentum to a rotational stage;
- a light source for emitting a light beam, wherein the light source is mounted to the rotational stage;
- a sample chamber removably coupled to the light source,
- wherein the sample chamber physically restrains a sample container between a first optical element and a second optical element,
- wherein the first optical element polarizes the light beam along a first plane and the second optical element polarizes the light beam along a second plane;
- and
- a light detector.
