POSSBLE APPLICATIONS

The list of research areas and technical solutions which can be further developed for industrial implementation:

I. Development of multispectral lensless microscopes for scientific, biomedical, food inspection and industrial applications. Compaction due to the LED systems and a simplified photometric model for diffuse illumination. Introduction of machine learning methods into identification and qalimetry of the products and raw materials using the series of images from multispectral and hyperspectral lensless microscopes [for example, see: https://vimeo.com/610694605%5D.

II. Design of the systems with discrete «chemical pixels» o «biopixels», converting the signals from chemically heterogeneous structures (for example, gradient distribution of ions or other specific analytes) into an optically detectable ones. Design of lensless chemical microscopes for a wide range of applications and customized systems for medicine, agriculture, food industry, etc.

III. Development of a series of specialized industrially produced lensless devices, for which, due to compactization, industrial large-scale production and implementation becomes possible (at the level of the technological process operators and laboratory assistants of any qualification). Such compact devices may include, in particular:
(a) Lensless nanoliter osmometers-cryoscopes and recrystallometers;
(b) lensless evaporographs (analyzers of the liquid microdroplet evaporation rate);
(c) lensless water hardness analyzers;
(d) lensless pinning effect analyzers, tensiometers, and contact angle meters;
(e) lensless swellographs;
(f) lensless systems for rapid biotesting;
(g) lensless flow granulometers;
(h) lensless dye diffusiometers;
(i) lensless sedimentographs;
(j) FRAP lensless analyzers;
(k) lensless multispectral immunochromatography test strip readers;
(l) lensless structural color analyzers based on ASP sensors;
(m) lensless «spinthariscopes» (detectors of ionizing radiation / elementary particles).
and more than 30 other possible compact specified lensless device modifications.

IV. Design of simplified portable and pocket lensless defectoscopes based on different principles (lensless visualization of magnetic fields for the powder method, microwave and acoustic fields, local heat sources, electroluminescent analysis of the leaks and cracks in fractography, etc.).

V. Design of the integrated systems for the analysis of reactive oxygen species and diffusiometry on a chip with a lensless detector.


VI. Design of the lensless analogues of “classimats” for the quality control / assessment of the plant and technical fibers (extended morphometry and classification of the fiber technical quality) upon production, up to their integration into the industrial production lines.

VII. Design of the industrial microelectrode systems and patch clamp devices for pharmacological testing with lensless visualization of multiple cultures simultaneously.

This list is not complete and includes only the most simple and cost-effective solutions for industrial applications.
