Bacteria detection with thin wetting film lensless imaging

Abstract: Lensless on-chip imaging is a promising technique to count and monitor cells and micro-objects in liquid sample. In this paper we apply this technique to the observation of µL sample containing bacteria evaporated onto a microscope slide. Compared with previously reported techniques, a large improvement in signal to noise ratio is obtained due to the presence of a few μm thick wetting film creating a micro-lens on top of each bacteria. In these conditions, standard CMOS sensor are able to detect micro-objects … Show more

“…This original sample holder (illustrated in Figure 1B) thus implements the lensfree on-chip technique reported in Allier et al 14 . Briefly and as illustrated in Figure 1A, the image formed in transmission onto the sensor results from the interference between the light coming directly from the illumination source (here a laser beam), and the light scattered by the bacterial cell(s).…”

“…The role of the collection optics is advantageously replaced by data processing approaches aimed at simulating light back-propagation from the sensor plane to the plane where the objects to be investigated are located [5][6][7], thus enabling 3D imaging from the recording of one 2D hologram. Its cost-effectiveness associated with the democratization of high resolution, and high definition imaging sensors made it possible to develop on-chip wide field holographic microscopes [8] suited for the detection of bacteria and viruses [9,10], cytometry [11], or the characterization of protein aggregates [12]. In this case, the resolution of the lensless microscope is driven by the pixel pitch of the chosen sensor, but can be enhanced using pixel super-resolution strategies [13].…”
