    Abstract: A system for label-free identification and/or classification and/or selection of at least one cell is provided. The system comprises a microfluidic environment configured to be traversable by the at least one cell, an imaging sensor configured to gather imaging information with respect to at least a part of the microfluidic environment, and a processing unit connected to the imaging sensor. In this context, the microfluidic environment comprises at least one sub-environment configured to interact with the at least one cell. Furthermore, the processing unit is configured to detect at least one sub-environment interaction event based on persistence of the at least one cell imaged by the imaging sensor in the temporal domain. In addition to this, the processing unit is configured to identify and/or classify and/or select the at least one cell based on the at least one sub-environment interaction event.

    Abstract: An example method and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system for imaging a scene are provided. The method is for imaging the scene with the HSI system including a sensor with a plurality of sensor pixels and a plurality of spectral filters, each of the spectral filters being associated with one of the sensor pixels. The method comprises obtaining a higher-resolution spatial image by illuminating the scene with a first set of wavelengths, wherein each spectral filter passes the first set of wavelengths to the sensor pixel it is associated with. The method further comprises obtaining a lower-resolution hyperspectral image by illuminating the scene with a second set of wavelengths, wherein each spectral filter passes only a subset of the second set of wavelengths to the sensor pixel it is associated with.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to lens-free imaging. One example embodiment may include a lens-free imaging device for imaging a moving sample. The lens-free imaging device may include a radiation source configured to emit a set of at least two different wavelengths towards the moving sample. The lens-free imaging device is configured to image samples for which a spectral response does not substantially vary for a set of at least two different wavelengths. The lens-free imaging device may also include a line scanner configured to obtain a line scan per wavelength emitted by the radiation source and reflected by, scattered by, or transmitted through the moving sample. The line scanner is configured to regularly obtain a line scan per wavelength. Either the radiation source or the line scanner is configured to isolate data of the at least two different wavelengths.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for performing in-line lens-free digital holography of objects. At least one embodiment relates to an apparatus for performing in-line lens-free digital holography of an object. The apparatus includes a point light source adapted for emitting coherent light. The apparatus also includes an image sensing device adapted and arranged for recording interference patterns resulting from interference from light waves directly originating from the point light source and object light waves. The object light waves originate from light waves from the point light source that are scattered or reflected by the object. The image sensing device comprises a plurality of pixels. The point light source comprises a broad wavelength spectrum light source and a pinhole structure. The image sensing device comprises a respective narrow band wavelength filter positioned above each pixel that filters within a broad wavelength spectrum of the point light source.
