2005 Optical
Detection of Low Levels of Biological Compounds and Organisms Presented
by: Steven R. Auger bioDevice
Partners Jamestown,
RI Optical methods have become
the first line tool for the quantitation, detection, and observation of
phenomena for Diagnostics, Bioterrorism Prevention, Life Sciences and
Drug
Discovery. Such applications put unique
demands on the design and components of the optical system. They often require detection or imaging of
light at extremely low levels emanating from objects that are fleeting,
photo-unstable or fragile. The
challenges of working with such systems will be presented from a
practical
viewpoint with real-world examples of total system design requirements,
approaches, tools, and pitfall avoidance.
Future challenges and enabling technologies will also be
discussed. Location: Oregon
