This paper presents a CMOS image sensor with a 32 x 32 pixel array for cell capture, detection, and quantification. Pixels measuring 15 pm x 15 mu m have a modified structure, suitable for post-CMOS electroless gold plating, which enables surface activation for cell capture without the need for any intermediate layer. This structure also increases the detection probability of captured cells, even when cells are much smaller than the pixel, owing to a special light mask implemented on pixels. Cells as small as 3 pm in diameter can be detected with this pixel structure. The proof of concept for surface activation of the gold coated sensor pixels was demonstrated by capturing and imaging MCF-7 breast cancer cells on the modified sensor surface. Accordingly, electroless gold coating of the Al pixels was achieved and the gold coated surface of the CMOS image sensor was activated with thiol-modified antibodies that can capture MCF-7 cells. Cells were then optically detected under green LED illumination.

Replication of high aspect ratio pillar array structures in biocompatible polymers for tissue engineering applications
Padeste, C.; Ozcelik, H.; Ziegler, J.; Schleunitz, A.; Bednarzik, M.; Yucel, D.; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2011-08-01)
We developed a simple two-step replication method to transfer arrays of high aspect ratio nanopillars into films of poly(L-D,L-lactic acid) (PLLA). Such structures are promising model surfaces for tissue engineering applications. From arrays of 1 mu m high and 200 nm wide pillars produced with e-beam lithography and reactive ion etching negative replicas were first formed by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) casting. The final replicates were produced by solvent casting from 1% to 4% solutions of PLLA in chlorina...
Alignment of uncalibrated images for multi-view classification
Arık, Sercan Ömer; Vural, Elif; Frossard, Pascal (2011-12-29)
Efficient solutions for the classification of multi-view images can be built on graph-based algorithms when little information is known about the scene or cameras. Such methods typically require a pairwise similarity measure between images, where a common choice is the Euclidean distance. However, the accuracy of the Euclidean distance as a similarity measure is restricted to cases where images are captured from nearby viewpoints. In settings with large transformations and viewpoint changes, alignment of im...
A High Throughput Lab-On-A-Chip System for Label Free Quantification of Breast Cancer Cells under Continuous Flow
ASLAN, MUSTAFA YASİN; Yalçın, Yasemin; Ozgur, E.; Gündüz, Ufuk; Eminoglu, S.; Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (Elsevier BV; 2016-05-27)
This paper presents an LOC system combining microfluidic DEP channel with a CMOS image sensor for label and lens free detection and real-time counting of MCF-7 cells under continuous flow. Trapped and then released MCF-7 cells are accurately detected and counted under flow with a CMOS image sensor integrated underneath the DEP channel, for the first time in the literature. CMOS image sensor can capture 391 frames per second (fps) that allows detection of the released cells flowing through the channel with a...
Analysis of nanoparticle Transmission Electron Microscopy data using a public-domain image-processing program, Image
Woehrle, GH; Hutchison, JE; Özkar, Saim; Finke, RG (2006-01-01)
The need to easily and quickly count larger numbers of nanoparticles, in order to obtain statistically useful size and size-distribution data, is addressed via the use of a readily available, free, public-domain program for particle counting, NIH-Image (and 2 others derived from it, Scion Image and Image J), collectively referred to herein as Image. The best protocols that we have found useful for the use of Image are reported; both appropriate as well as problematic applications of Image are then illustrat...
Cell detection using a CMOS image sensor with modified pixel structure suitable for bio-chemical surface activation
Musayev, Javid; Adiguzel, Yekbun; Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (2013-04-02)
This paper presents a CMOS image sensor with a 32 x 32 pixel array suitable for cell capture, detection, and quantification. Pixels measuring 15 mu m x 15 mu m have a modified structure, suitable for post-CMOS electroless gold plating, which enables surface activation for cell capture without the need for any intermediate layer. This structure also increases the detection probability of captured cells as opposed to non-captured ones, owing to a special light mask (metal shield) implemented on pixels. The li...
