A new portable spectrometer use a smartphone camera to acquire data

Spectral images, which contain more color information than is obtainable with a typical camera, reveal characteristics of tissue and other biological samples that can’t be seen by the naked eye. A new smartphone-compatible device that is held like a pencil could make it practical to acquire spectral images of everyday objects and may eventually be Read more about A new portable spectrometer use a smartphone camera to acquire data[…]

New Low-Cost Method to Produce Light-based Lab-on-a-Chip Devices for Fast Medical Tests

A new fabrication process could make it easier and less expensive to incorporate optical sensing onto lab-on-a-chip devices. These devices integrate laboratory functions onto a plastic or glass “chip” typically no more than a few square centimeters in size, allowing automated testing in the doctor’s office or various types of chemical or biological analysis with Read more about New Low-Cost Method to Produce Light-based Lab-on-a-Chip Devices for Fast Medical Tests[…]
