Lattice Light-Sheet Microscopy Targets Malaria
MELBOURNE, Australia, June 22, 2021 — With the help of a custom-built lattice light-sheet microscope, researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) captured high-resolution 3D video images of individual malaria parasites (Plasmodium falciparum) invading red blood cells in...
Smart Microscope Teaches Itself Settings for Diagnosing Disease
DURHAM, N.C., Nov. 25, 2019 — Engineers at Duke University used machine learning to develop a microscope capable of adapting its lighting angles, colors, and patterns while teaching itself the optimal settings needed to complete a diagnostic task. In a proof-of-concept study,...
Light Augments Conventional Methods of Mosquito Control
NOTRE DAME, Ind., June 21, 2017 — Exposure to just ten minutes of white light presented at timed intervals during the late daytime, dusk, dawn and throughout the night could suppress biting and manipulate flight behavior in the Anopheles gambiae mosquito, the major vector for...
Holographic Imaging Technique Diagnoses Malaria Automatically, Accurately
DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 11, 2016 — A quantitative phase spectroscopy (QPS) system that incorporates digital holography has been used to spot malaria-infected cells from a simple, untouched blood sample without any help from a human. The technique employs machine learning algorithms...
In Vitro Diagnostics, Immunology Spurring Advances in Flow Cytometry
Oct 3, 2016 — Cells are the building blocks of organisms. From yeast and bacteria to elephants and whales, cells are the fundamental units of both biological structure and function. They have long been the subject of intense study: to better understand how they...
Rebecca Richards-Kortum Wins AIMBE Pierre Galletti Award
Houston, May 6, 2016 — The American Institute for Medical and Biomedical Engineering (AIMBE) presented its highest honor, the 2016 Pierre Galletti Award, to Rice University bioengineer Rebecca Richards-Kortum. Rebecca Richards-Kortum has been awarded the 2016 Pierre...
BD, SightDX Collaborate for Malaria Detection
NEW DELHI, May 4, 2016 — Medical technology manufacturer Becton Dickinson and Co. (BD) has announced a collaboration with medical device developer Sight Diagnostics Ltd. (SightDX) to introduce a parasite malaria detection device in India. The Parasight Malaria Detection...
Laser Tweezers Used to Study Malaria
CAMBRIDGE, England, Aug. 20, 2014 — Optical tweezers are helping in the race to find new medicines or vaccines to wipe out malaria. A team from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the University of Cambridge is studying how the Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasites interact with...
Bug Sensors Could Slow Infection, Defend Crops
RIVERSIDE, Calif. and SAO PAULO, Brazil, May 1, 2014 — Better classification of insects in the wild could be a key to protecting crops and halting the spread of diseases. A team from the University of California, Riverside, in collaboration with the University of Sao Paulo and ISCA Technologies, has...
Laser-Driven Nanobubbles Noninvasively Detect Malaria
HOUSTON, Jan. 2, 2014 — A noninvasive, laser scanner “vapor nanobubble” technology using no dyes or diagnostic chemicals can detect even a single malaria-infected cell among a million normal cells, with zero false-positive readings. The transdermal diagnostic...
Listening to Blood Cells
TORONTO, July 8, 2013 — Red blood cells struck with laser light generate high-frequency sound waves that could help researchers to differentiate normal blood cells from abnormal ones for the diagnosis of blood-related diseases.
Tkaczyk Wins Norman Edmund Inspiration Award
BARRINGTON, N.J., Oct. 10, 2012 — Tomasz Tkaczyk of Rice University has won the 2012 Norman Edmund Inspiration Award for his low-cost, portable optical system for global health applications, the optical components maker announced Wednesday.
Revealing Cell Membrane Mechanics
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., April 29, 2010 — Thanks to an interdisciplinary team of researchers, scientists now have a more complete understanding of one of the human body’s most vital structures, the red blood cell. Led by University of Illinois electrical and computer engineering...
Malaria Detection Requires Bleeding Heart
Jun 4, 2009 — Malaria is a huge problem in tropical countries of the Third World. This is why some people have emphasized improving techniques for detecting the parasite that causes the disease, and yet a proven method for detecting the parasite was developed...
On-chip Microscope Developed
PASADENA, Calif., July 29, 2008 -- Computer chip technology has been combined with microfluidics to create a tiny lenseless microscope small enough to fit on a fingertip and with magnifying power that rivals top optical microscopes. The high-resolution optofluidic microscope can use...
Medical Optics a FiO Feature
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2007 -- Using tiny implantable cameras to restore sight, lasers to treat infertility and light to detect malaria are a few of the medical research advances to be discussed during Frontiers in Optics 2007 (FiO), the 91st Annual Meeting of the Optical Society...
