Oil-Immersion Enhanced Imaging Flow Cytometer

View page
US Patent:
7796256, Sep 14, 2010
Filed:
May 5, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/151262
Inventors:
Christian K. Sieracki - Edgecomb ME, US
Kent A. Peterson - Yarmouth ME, US
Assignee:
Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc. - Yarmouth ME
International Classification:
G01N 21/00
US Classification:
356342, 356377, 356440, 356 72, 25033912
Abstract:
A flow chamber, imaging objective, condenser and imaging light source as part of an optical system includes an oil-immersion objective and high numerical aperture condenser matched to a rectangular flow chamber. The oil-immersion objective and flow chamber include a high index of refraction immersion oil so as to enhance the optical resolution and optical coupling therethrough. The imaging light source generates light which passes through the condenser, the flow chamber and then the objective before being focused onto an imaging camera. Fluorescence excitation passes through the objective to the flow chamber where the oil immersion configuration enhances the focus and collection of the light back through the objective.

System And Method For Monitoring Birefringent Particles In A Fluid

View page
US Patent:
8345239, Jan 1, 2013
Filed:
Aug 4, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/535536
Inventors:
Christian K. Sieracki - Edgecomb ME, US
William H. Nelson - North Yarmouth ME, US
Assignee:
Fluid Imaging Technologies, Inc. - Yarmouth NE
International Classification:
G01J 4/00
US Classification:
356365, 356336, 356337, 356369, 250225
Abstract:
An imaging system with an imaging mechanism which includes polarization analyzers, which may be crossed polarization analyzers, positioned to provide birefringence images of particles in the fluid passing through the flow chamber. Captured images are of high resolution and may be used in comparison to known images of a library of images. The system and related method enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of particle monitoring by utilizing birefringence imaging combined with particle analysis and the detection of each particle's characteristic features, such as crystalline features. The system includes a scatter detector used to trigger backlighting of the flow chamber and capture images of particles therein.

System And Method For Monitoring Blue-Green Algae In A Fluid

View page
US Patent:
20090283697, Nov 19, 2009
Filed:
May 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/122019
Inventors:
Christian K. Sieracki - Edgecomb ME, US
Kent A. Peterson - Yarmouth ME, US
William H. Nelson - Yarmouth ME, US
Assignee:
FLUID IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Yarmouth ME
International Classification:
G21K 5/00
G01N 15/02
US Classification:
2504581, 738655
Abstract:
A particle detection system with a detection mechanism that includes detectors positioned to detect two different ranges of fluorescence produced by particles in the fluid in a flow chamber. Each of the detectors is arranged to generating a trigger signal whenever fluorescence is detected. The system and related method enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of blue-green algae monitoring by utilizing imaging flow cytometry combined with particle analysis and the measurement of the ratio of each particle's phycocyanin to chlorophyll b detected by using the two detectors configured for detection of two different fluorescence ranges, one associated with the phycocyanin and the other associated with the chlorophyll b. Optionally, captured images may be used in comparison to known images of a library of images.

System And Method For Sweeping Mirror Enhanced Imaging Flow Cytometry

View page
US Patent:
20120002029, Jan 5, 2012
Filed:
Jun 30, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/826850
Inventors:
Christian K. Sieracki - Edgecomb ME, US
Scott N. Ellis - Topsham ME, US
Kent A. Peterson - Yarmouth ME, US
Assignee:
FLUID IMAGING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. - Yarmouth ME
International Classification:
H04N 7/18
US Classification:
348 79, 348 61, 348E07085
Abstract:
An imaging flow cytometry system and method which includes a flow chamber, tracking mirror, microscope and imaging optics, image capturing system, device to regulate fluid flow through the chamber, and backlighting generator. The tracking mirror moves at a rate matched to the particle velocity in the flow chamber so as to enhance the sample flow rates possible with the system while maintaining clear and accurate imaging. The backlighting generator passes through the flow chamber and the objective before being focused on the image capturing system. Detected scatter events initiate tracking by the mirror, resulting in imaging with reduced motion blur even at high rates of flow.

US Patent:
20120176616, Jul 12, 2012
Filed:
Jun 17, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/379964
Inventors:
Carlton D. Hunt - Bridgewater MA, US
Derek M. Michelin - Plymouth MA, US
Michael P. Neal - Powell OH, US
Christian K. Sieracki - Edgecomb ME, US
J. Caleb Chitwood - Canal Winchester OH, US
Douglas B. Pape - Upper Arlington OH, US
David A. Fingerhuth - Marysville OH, US
International Classification:
G01N 21/00
US Classification:
356338
Abstract:
A fluid submersible sensing device is provided comprising a fluid-tight housing defining an internal chamber and including window structure; sensing structure provided in the internal chamber; light providing apparatus in the internal chamber emitting light capable of passing through the window structure so as to exit the housing; and a sample-providing structure coupled to the housing and located outside of the housing internal chamber comprising a passage through which a fluid flows. The passage may have a longitudinal axis substantially parallel with a flow path through the passage and a cross sectional area substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis. The light from the housing exits the housing, passes through the sample-providing structure including the passage and re-enters the housing toward the sensing structure.
