This study introduces a novel optical waveguide cytometer for detailed cell microstructure analysis. The device collects wide-angle light scattering data, enabling precise characterization of cell-sized particles.

Area of Science:

  • Biophotonics
  • Microfluidics
  • Optical Engineering

Background:

  • Developing advanced cytometers is crucial for detailed cell microstructure characterization.
  • Comprehensive light scattering data collection over wide solid angles is a prerequisite for this analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel optical waveguide-based cytometer.
  • To demonstrate its capability in simultaneously collecting light scattered by cells over a wide range of solid angles.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a liquid-core optical waveguide as both a microfluidic channel and for light scattering collection.
  • Employed prism coupling for excitation and a hemispherical lens for 2D light collection from 0 to 180 degrees.
  • Used latex beads as cell mimics to validate the system's performance.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated the collection of 2D back-scattered light from latex beads.
  • Experimental scattering patterns for 4.0- and 9.6-mum beads closely matched theoretical predictions.
  • Identified that bead position significantly impacts scattering patterns, with a computational method proposed for offset determination.

Conclusions:

  • Validated a microfluidic-based optical cytometer using leaky waveguide mode excitation for wide-angle 2D light scattering.
  • Showcased the system's ability to observe scattering patterns from cell-sized latex beads.
  • Highlighted the chip-based system's compatibility with emerging microfluidic technologies.
