Optical testing system

摘要

The present application provides a system (1) that comprises a mobile phone (25) to allow testing of samples from a patient at the point of care or environmental/industrial process monitoring tests to be performed in the field. The system (1) may be easily adapted for use with a variety of different mobile phones (25). The mobile phone (25) comprises an integrated camera (15). The system (1) further comprises an optical module (20) for receiving a sample for testing. The mobile phone (25) is configured to extract the intensity and/or color information from the camera (15).

主权项

1. A non-imaging optical measurement system for measuring luminescence, comprising:
a personal communications device having an integrated camera; an optical module having a plurality of wells or spots to receive a respective one of a plurality of samples for testing, the optical module comprising:
a plurality of non-imaging outcouplers, each of the non-imaging outcouplers positioned with respect to a respective one of the wells or spots to extract light from a respective one of the samples of the plurality of samples;a subsequent optical structure which provides a plurality of distinct optical paths, a separate one of the optical paths for the extracted light from each sample of the plurality of samples, and which directs the extracted light from each sample through the optical module to a respective one of a plurality of unique areas of the camera, wherein the personal communications device is configured to extract an intensity measurement from at least one pixel on the camera in respect of each sample and to provide a measurement to a user for each sample from said intensity measurement.
