| Leadership laboratory created a prototype phone | | | | counting. In addition, because LUCAS imaging without |
| with special features: can be used to monitor AIDS, | | | | lenses, so there is only one factor to limit the size of |
| malaria patient's condition can also be used to detect | | | | the phone LUCAS: LUCAS chip size of the building. |
| the affected areas less developed, or water quality. | | | | Professor |
| In this phone, the researchers introduced an | | | | Ozcan said Professor: "LUCAS technique not only for |
| innovative imaging technology, and invented the | | | | health care in the field, in the field of cell biology is |
| technology is currently working in the University of | | | | also a good prospect. Typically, researchers statistics |
| California, Berkeley, Professor Ozcan. | | | | when the number of blood cells, are using streaming |
| Technology invented by Professor Ozcan called | | | | cytometry (flow-cytometer), one can only record a |
| "no-lens-based image super-wide silhouette vision unit | | | | cell, but it can also record LUCAS imaging thousands |
| to monitor the array" | | | | of cells, the accuracy was no worse than the flow |
| edonShadowimaging, called LUCAS), has been | | | | cytometer. " |
| successfully applied to the mobile phone and network | | | | 2008 12 5, Ozcan, Professor at the "lab on a chip" |
| camera head. Whether mobile phones or cameras, | | | | magazine (LabonaChip) published articles that, after a |
| are actually using the same imaging method: use of | | | | series of improvements, he created a |
| short-wavelength blue light blood, saliva or other liquid | | | | second-generation LUCAS system?? Holographic |
| samples, and then through a sensor array, to capture | | | | LUCAS ( holographicLUCAS). Improved, holographic |
| the particulate sample images. | | | | LUCAS can identify more small particles, such as E. |
| As liquid samples in the different particles have | | | | coli, which is the first generation LUCAS can not do. |
| different diffraction patterns (diffractionpattern), so | | | | By changing the spatial location of the light source, |
| through the decision-making algorithm | | | | capture LUCAS dimensional holographic particle image |
| (custom-developed), and particle atlas has been | | | | than the classical particle imaging with more |
| compared, LUCAS soon be able to identify the type | | | | information. Professor |
| of sample particles. Then, people could use their | | | | Ozcan plan the next few years to really integrate |
| mobile phones LUCAS collected data sent to the | | | | into the system LUCAS handheld devices such as |
| hospital for further analysis and diagnosis, or use USB | | | | mobile phones. With these devices, people even in |
| interface to transfer data to a computer, and then | | | | remote areas can also monitor the disease situation in |
| be sent to medical institutions. | | | | a timely manner, so that medical institutions can do |
| However, LUCAS phone is not a substitute for the | | | | for prevention and control of key areas. In addition, |
| microscope, but rather a complementary tool. And | | | | LUCAS system can also be used to monitor water |
| LUCAS generated images grainy and pixel-based | | | | quality, such as detection of harmful particles in |
| comparison, the image under the microscope even | | | | drinking water. LUCAS display system in Japan, the |
| more delicate. But LUCAS has its own advantages: in | | | | Tokyo University and Kyushu University scientists |
| many cases, people can not always carry | | | | had also contact with Professor Ozcan, hoping the |
