A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor was utilized to detect the interaction of cardiovascular disease markers, troponin I and C-reactive protein. Each marker with its respective antibodies was adsorbed to an indium nanoparticle (InNP)-coated glass substrate. Dielectric layers of antigens and antibodies bound onto and interacted on conducting InNPs. Normal room light passed through these protein-layer-bound substrates and hit the CMOS image sensor surface, and the number of photons was detected and converted into digital form. We tested this approach for real-time monitoring of cardiac disease markers based on photon count, demonstrating its low cost and its capacity to detect antigens with high sensitivity at picogram per milliliter concentration.

The optoelectronic memristor integrates the multifunctionalities of image sensing, storage, and processing, which has been considered as the leading candidate to construct novel neuromorphic visual system. In particular, memristive materials with all-optical modulation and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility are highly desired for energy-efficient image perception. As a p-type oxide material, CuO exhibits outstanding theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency and broadband photoresponse.

Purpose: Minibeam radiotherapy (MBRT) uses small parallel beams of radiation to create a highly modulated dose pattern. The aim of this study is to develop an optical radioluminescence imaging (RLI) approach to perform real-time dose measurement for MBRT.
Methods: MBRT was delivered using an image-guided small animal irradiator equipped with a custom collimator.
Epithelial tissues in vitro undergo dynamic changes while differentiating heterogeneously on the culture substrate. This gives rise to diverse cellular arrangements which are undistinguished by conventional analysis approaches, such as transepithelial electrical resistance measurement or permeability assays. In this context, solid substrate-based systems with integrated electrodes and electrochemical impedance monitoring capability can address the limited spatiotemporal resolution of traditional porous membrane-based methods.

In this study, we describe a low-noise complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS) with a 10/11-bit hybrid single-slope analog-to-digital converter (SS-ADC). The proposed hybrid SS-ADC provides a resolution of 11 bits in low-light and 10 bits in high-light. To this end, in the low-light section, the digital-correlated double sampling method using a double data rate structure was used to obtain a noise performance similar to that of the 11-bit SS-ADC under low-light conditions, while maintaining linear in-out characteristics.
