Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a system and method for assessing chronic exposure of a biological sample, such as a bodily fluid, to an analyte of interest. A biological sample may be illuminated to thereby generate a one or more pluralities of interacted photons. These interacted photons may be detected to thereby generate one or more spectroscopic data sets representative of a biological sample. Spectroscopic data sets generated may be compared to at least one reference data set. Each reference data set may be associated with a known exposure to a known analyte. The present disclosure contemplates that the system and method disclosed herein may be used to analyze exposure of biological samples to at least one analyte over time. Data sets may be obtained at various time intervals to assess changes in a molecular composition as a result of chronic exposure to an analyte.

Abstract: A spectral image acquiring apparatus includes an optical filter on which light is incident; an image sensor including a two-dimensionally disposed pixel array for detecting the light via the optical filter; and a signal processing unit generating a difference-value image based on a detection signal from the image sensor. The optical filter includes a diffraction grating having a lattice pattern corresponding to one or more pixels on the image sensor. The signal processing unit calculates a difference value in an amount of received light between two adjacent pixels based on the detection signal from the image sensor, and generates the difference-value image based on the difference value. The difference value between the two adjacent pixels is varied depending on a difference in an interference point on the image sensor corresponding to a diffraction angle of the light that has passed through the diffraction grating.
