Abstract:
1. A Lab On a Chip (LOC) comprising: a sample inlet for receiving a liquid sample; a Sample Preparation Module (SPM) coupled to the sample inlet; microchannel coupled to the SPM; a light source; a lens chamber optically proximate to the microchannel; a plurality of lenses within the lens chamber, wherein each of the plurality of lenses has a different effective focal length for generating light images of objects suspended within the liquid sample as light from the light source illuminates the objects passing through the microchannel in different strata of the microchannel; a photovoltaic/encryption matrix layer that encrypts optical data as it is being created from the light images to create an encrypted optical file; and an Input/Output (I/O) interface to provide access to the encrypted optical file.
