Pseudo Color

A new pseudo-color coded optical system based on the liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM) and a digital camera (CCD) is proposed. The SLM is used to replace the holographic grating with gray-scale image information, a gray-scale image in real-time modulation methods is proposed by synthesizing phase hologram and Ronchi grating, combined with the 4f coherent optical processing system and spatial filtering. For the high resolution gray image processed with existing digital pseudo-color method, the color sensitivity is low, algorithm is very complex. For traditional optical pseudo-color method, the gray scale image needs chemical pretreatment. The process is complex and time-consuming, and the real-time modulation could not be achieved. Our new method has enhanced the flexibility and adaptability of the optical pseudo-color, and give full play to the high sensitivity, high-capacity, rich colors and other features of the optical processing mode. At the same time, it overcomes the disadvantages of pure optical system which could not perform real-time processing. Therefore, it can be widely used in the field of remote sensing, biomedical, environmental monitoring, public security and criminal investigation, etc.

Liberibacter Asiaticus

HighlightsA portable system based on real-time fluorescence analysis was developed for field detection of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus within 40 min from sample to answer.A smartphone-assisted device was designed for easy operation, reliable nucleic acid amplification, and highly sensitive fluorescence detection, with sensitivity comparable to that of a commercial instrument.A novel homemade 3D printed box was used for in-field reagent storage, and it could maintain low temperature (<4°C) for about 8 hours without power supply.This fully integrated system is stable, easy to use, inexpensive, and has great application prospects in resource-limited areas.Abstract. Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las) is a main causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB), a destructive disease that has greatly reduced citrus yields and quality. Instruments with high sensitivity and portability are urgently required for on-site testing. In this study, a novel sample-to-answer optical system for on-site detection of Las was developed. Three major functions, including DNA extraction, amplification, and detection, are integrated into a portable case. This system mainly consists of (1) a specially designed 3D printed box for on-site reagent storage that can maintain low temperature (below 4°C) for 7.5 h at ambient temperature (35°C); (2) a custom device, called the IF-Device, for DNA amplification and detection of HLB, with an optimized optical structure, a sensitive signal processing circuit, and a precise temperature control algorithm with an accuracy of ±0.1°C; and (3) a battery-based power supply for the whole system. In a typical test using sodium fluorescein as a standard model, the results showed that the sensitivity of this system (1.0 nM) could easily meet the requirements of fluorescence biosensors. The feasibility of this homemade system was evaluated with samples extracted from infected citrus leaves based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method, and the limit of detection (LOD) was approximately 1.0 × 10-4 ng µL-1. The whole detection process for eight samples could be simultaneously accomplished within 40 min, and the results could be displayed on a smartphone in real-time. Moreover, the portable case is anti-interference, low cost, and only 2 kg in weight. Considering its sensitivity, stability, and portability, this highly integrated system possesses promising prospects for in-field detection.
