Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and systems for image cytometry analysis, typically at low optical magnification, where analysis is based on detection of biological particles using UV bright field and optionally one or more sources of excitation light.

Claim (Index 22):
A method for the assessment of at least one quantity parameter and/or one quality parameter of a biological sample, comprising:\n applying a volume of the biological sample to a sample compartment having parallel wall parts defining an exposing area, the wall parts allowing light from an imaging apparatus to pass through the wall parts of the sample compartment, wherein the imaging apparatus comprises a first light source configured for emitting light into the sample compartment and a second light source comprising a first excitation light source configured for emitting excitation light into the sample compartment; illuminating the sample compartment with collimated light from the first light source, and exposing, onto a 2-dimensional array of active detection elements, light having passed through the sample compartment, thus recording a bright-field image of spatial light intensity information; illuminating the sample compartment with collimated light from the first light source, and exposing, onto a 2-dimensional array of active detection elements, light having interacted with the biological sample, thus recording a dark-field image of spatial light intensity information; illuminating the sample compartment with excitation light from the first excitation light source, and exposing, onto the 2-dimensional array of active detection elements, fluorescent light having passed through the sample compartment, thus recording a fluorescent image of spatial light intensity information; processing all three images in such a manner that light intensity information from individual biological objects are identified as distinct from light intensity information from the background; and correlating the results of the processing to the at least one quantity parameter and/or quality parameter of biological particles in the biological sample.
