Abstract

We demonstrate an opto-fluidic detection system based on an array of astigmatic diffractive microlenses integrated into a microfluidic flow focus device. Each astigmatic microlens produces a line excitation across the channel and collects fluorescence emission from the linear detection regions. The linear excitation spot results in uniform excitation across the channel and high time resolution in the direction of the flow. Collected fluorescence from each integrated microlens is relayed to a sub-region on a fast CMOS camera. By analyzing the signal from individual microlenses, we demonstrate counting and resolution of 500 nm and 1.1 μm beads at rates of up to 8,300 per second at multiple locations. In addition, a cross-correlation analysis of the signals from different microlenses yields the velocity dispersion of beads traveling through the channel at peak speeds as high as 560 mm/s. Arrays of specifically designed diffractive optics promise to increase the resolution and functionality of opto-fluidic analysis such as flow cytometry and fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy.

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Schematic of the optofluidic fluorescence measurement system. The microfluidic channel and microlens array are integrated onto the same substrate. The microlens array is illuminated by a broad fluorescence excitation laser beam and imaged onto a high speed CMOS camera by off chip relay optics that have unity magnification. The fast CMOS camera is a Phantom V7.1 from Vision Research. Image stacks are collected by the camera and later analyzed to quantify the fluorescence signal collected from each detection region.

Fig. 3 Optofludic device. a) Brightfield microscope image, taken with a 10× objective lens, of the flow focus microfluidic device aligned to the diffractive microlens array. The diffractive microlenses are separated from the microfluidic channel by the coverslip thickness of 170 μm, so they appear slightly out of focus. b) Fluorescent emission resulting from the diffractive lenses focusing the excitation laser into the dye-filled channel, showing the focal spot distributions of all three detection regions.

Inset shows a higher resolution time trace of seven beads as they flow by the three detection regions. b) Histograms of the peak heights for each of the three different detection regions.

Inset shows a higher resolution time trace of the signal from two beads. b) Autocorrelation of each detection region, yielding a half width at half maximum of 23 and 31 μs, respectively. For a velocity of 90 mm/s, beads travel an average of 2.3 μm in between frames.
