Project Description

We propose to develop a compact optofluidic 3D imaging cytometry system for high throughput screening of micro-scale objects based on their chemical fingerprint. By properly designing the optical system and selecting two excitation laser beams, we take holographic pictures based on the emission of Coherent Anti-Stoke Raman scattering (CARS) from the objects. A 3D image of the each object can be then digitally reconstructed.
