    Abstract: A detection device detects an analyte that may be contained in a specimen. The detection device includes a plurality of gold nanoparticles, an optical trapping light source, an illumination light source, an objective lens, an image pick-up device, and a computation unit. The plurality of gold nanoparticles are each modified with a probe DNA allowing the analyte to specifically adhere thereto. The optical trapping light source emits polarized light for assembling the plurality of gold nanoparticles together. The objective lens focuses and introduces the polarized light into a liquid containing a specimen and the plurality of gold nanoparticles. The image pick-up device receives light from the liquid. The computation unit detects an analyte based on a signal received from the image pick-up device.

    Abstract: Embodiments generally relate to a light source and methods for minimizing temperature sensitivity of a light source light source. In one embodiment a light source includes a light-emitting diode, a light beam having an optical axis, a photodetector and a polarizer. The diode is operatively configured to emit the light beam. The beam splitter, positioned to intercept the light beam, includes a first optical surface operatively configured to reflect a first portion of the light beam and to transmit a second portion of the light beam therethrough. The photodetector is positioned to capture the first portion of the light beam after reflection by the beam splitter and operatively configured to generate photocurrent proportional to an intensity of that captured first portion. The polarizer is positioned between the diode and the beam splitter, and is operatively configured to polarize the light beam along a polarization direction perpendicular to its optical axis.

    Abstract: A non-invasive measurement of biological tissue reveals information about the function of that tissue. Polarized light is directed onto the tissue, stimulating the emission of fluorescence, due to one or more endogenous fluorophors in the tissue. Fluorescence anisotropy is then calculated. Such measurements of fluorescence anisotropy are then used to assess the functional status of the tissue, and to identify the existence and severity of disease states. Such assessment can be made by comparing a fluorescence anisotropy profile with a known profile of a control.
