UCLA (U.C.L.A.) scientists have recently developed a low-cost "mobile phone microscope", the device is expected to replace the cumbersome and expensive optical microscope, become the dominant of the portable digital radiology equipment.
UCLA professor of electrical engineering and Nanotechnology Research Institute members · aydogan Ozcan (Aydogan Ozcan) using design software and the value of the out-of-the-box hardware $ 10, succeeded in a normal cell phone into a have disease screening digital microscope.
Simply by the camera sensor will slide into the mobile blood samples, you can read in a few seconds the hologram.
The sensor will detect the slide content and wireless signal sent to the hospital and regional medical center in normal circumstances, the mobile phone can detect abnormal white blood cells of deformation or signs of infection.
Ozcan's new invention will undoubtedly for fast processing of pathogen samples has opened a new road-UCLA of physicists, electrical engineering professor Bahra · Al Jalali (Bahram Jalali) believes that the user then no need lens through the microscope for the narrow vision of the recollections of mechanical scanning, but using holograms also catch all cells of information-just a few seconds can be a lot of healthy cells in the pathogenesis of culprit uncovered, as retrieved in the past in a haystack is easy to program.
It is worth mentioning that this device is especially suitable for lack of hospitals, diagnostic laboratory technicians or remote areas of ordinary people by cell phone-microscope field collection of medical information, prevention and diagnosis of malaria are particularly favourable.
