Abstract
Pathogenic microorganisms are detected and classified by spectral imaging of the Raman light scattered by the organisms.
Claims56
A method for detection of Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), comprising:
- a) irradiating at least one Anthrax microorganism with light;
- then
- b) forming an image of the Anthrax microorganism using Raman shifted light from the Anthrax microorganism;
- then
- c) analyzing the Raman shifted light image for patterns characteristic of Anthrax microorganisms.
