Researchers have advanced a novel lens-free imaging technique on the path to use in medical diagnostic applications that promise to improve global health related disease monitoring, such as malaria and HIV. The on-chip imaging platform is capable of quickly and accurately counting targeted cell types in a mixed cell solution. Eventually, the platform will be scaled down to the point that it can be integrated within a regular wireless cell phone.
