    Abstract: A fluorescence detection system is provided. The fluorescence detection system includes a light source adapted to emit excitation light; a sample unit in which a sample is disposed; a first optical fiber adapted to connect the light source to the sample unit; an avalanche photodiode array detector adapted to receive fluorescent light generated by the sample when the sample is irradiated with the excitation light; and a second optical fiber adapted to connect the sample unit to the avalanche photodiode array detector, wherein the second optical fiber has a numerical aperture of equal to or greater than about 0.15 and the second optical fiber is positioned such that a longitudinal axis of the second optical fiber is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the first optical fiber. A method for detecting fluorescence and a computer-implemented method for detecting fluorescence are also provided.

    Abstract: The present concept is a method of preparing an egg to determine the color of the egg using an egg yolk cover. The egg yolk cover is dome-shaped with a base edge and inspection area. The egg yolk cover eliminates ambient light from impinging on the egg yolk and is used in combination with a light sensor to determine the color of egg yolks. The light sensor includes a single flat printed circuit board with a top and bottom side which includes at least one LED light and one color sensor, at least one light pipe receiving light from the LED and transmitting it onto a substrate at an angle theta and a tube frame including an optical tube for receiving light reflections from the substrate. The light pipes and the tube frame are compression fit between the printed circuit board and a lower housing. To determine the color of the egg yolk, the egg is first cracked onto a flat surface. The egg yolk cover is then placed over the egg yolk and the color sensor is placed onto the inspection area to measure the color.

    Abstract: According to one aspect, the invention relates to a device (100) for remote polarimetric characterisation of a sample (S). It comprises a source (10) for emitting at least one incident light wave at at least one first wavelength (λE); a monomode optical fibre (30) in which the incident light wave is intended to propagate; a polarisation state generator (PSG) arranged on the proximal side of the optical fibre; a reflector (40) intended to be arranged on the distal side of the optical fibre; a polarisation state analyser (PSA) arranged on the proximal side of the optical fibre and allowing, for each probe state of the incident wave generated by the polarisation state generator, the polarisation of the light wave obtained after propagation of the incident wave in the optical fibre (30), reflection from the distal side of the optical fibre and reverse propagation in the optical fibre (30), to be analysed. Processing means (70) make it possible to determine, from a first polarimetric characterisation of the optical fibre, a Mueller matrix (MF) associated with the optical fibre, and, from a second polarimetric characterisation of the assembly comprising the optical fibre and the sample, a Mueller matrix (MT) associated with said assembly. The Mueller matrix (Mo) associated with the sample is determined from the Mueller matrices associated with the optical fibre and the assembly comprising the optical fibre and the sample, respectively.

    Abstract: A method for producing a multilayer tissue phantom involves successively forming at least two layers, each layer formed by depositing a viscous flowable material over a supporting element or over a previously formed layer of the phantom supported by the supporting element, selectively redistributing the material while material is solidifying to control a thickness distribution of the layer, and allowing the material to solidify sufficiently to apply a next layer. The supporting element supports the material in 2 or 3 directions and effectively molds a lumen of the tissue. The neighboring layers are of different composition and of chosen thickness to provide desired optical properties and mechanical properties of the phantom. The phantom may have selected attenuation and backscattering properties to mimic tissues for optical coherence tomography imaging.
