• Abstract summary: The flow cytometer is housed in an environmentally-sealed enclosure with dimensions of 19 cm x 19 cm x 16 cm and weighs 1.6 kg. We demonstrate that this portable imaging flow cytometer coupled to a laptop computer can detect and quantify, in real-time, low levels of Giardia contamination. The field-portable and label-free nature of this method has the potential to allow rapid and automated screening of drinking water supplies.

• Abstract: We report a field-portable and cost-effective imaging flow cytometer that uses deep learning to accurately detect Giardia lamblia cysts in water samples at a volumetric throughput of 100 mL/h. This flow cytometer uses lensfree color holographic imaging to capture and reconstruct phase and intensity images of microscopic objects in a continuously flowing sample, and automatically identifies Giardia Lamblia cysts in real-time without the use of any labels or fluorophores. The imaging flow cytometer is housed in an environmentally-sealed enclosure with dimensions of 19 cm x 19 cm x 16 cm and weighs 1.6 kg. We demonstrate that this portable imaging flow cytometer coupled to a laptop computer can detect and quantify, in real-time, low levels of Giardia contamination (e.g., <10 cysts per 50 mL) in both freshwater and seawater samples. The field-portable and label-free nature of this method has the potential to allow rapid and automated screening of drinking water supplies in resource limited settings in order to detect waterborne parasites and monitor the integrity of the filters used for water treatment.

  Inline Coherent Imaging (ICI) is a reliable method for real-time monitoring of various laser processes, including keyhole welding, additive manufacturing, and micromachining. The axial resolution is limited to greater than 2 mum making ICI unsuitable for monitoring submicron processes. Advancements in Quantum Optical Coherence Tomography (Q OCT) has the potential to address this issue by achieving better than 1 mum depth resolution.
