New Microbiological Measurement Device and its Green Applications

Within this project a new microbiological measuring device has been developed that combines the fluorescent detection of objects with the digital holographic microscopes provided extended depth of fields and medium spatial resolutions. This way we have built a device that is able to detect the position of the fluorescent objects, which can be auto-fluorescent ones (containing e.g. chlorophyll, phycocyanin) or marked by fluorescent dies, and based the simultaneously recorded hologram the medium resolution image of these objects are also reconstructed. This way the device become applicable to separate the alive and dead objects within a large fluid sample at a high speed.
This device is aimed to apply in ballast water monitoring.
