Abstract

A system for measuring spectrally-resolved fluorescence cross sections of single bioaerosol particles has been developed and employed in a biological safety level 3 (BSL-3) facility at Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center (ECBC). It is used to aerosolize the slurry or solution of live agents and surrogates into dried micron-size particles, and to measure the fluorescence spectra and sizes of the particles one at a time. Spectrally-resolved fluorescence cross sections were measured for (1) bacterial spores: Bacillus anthracis Ames (BaA), B. atrophaeus var. globigii (BG) (formerly known as Bacillus globigii), B. thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), B. thuringiensis kurstaki (Btk), B. anthracis Sterne (BaS); (2) vegetative bacteria: Escherichia coli (E. coli), Pantoea agglomerans (Eh) (formerly known as Erwinia herbicola), Yersinia rohdei (Yr), Yersinia pestis CO92 (Yp); and (3) virus preparations: Venezuelan equine encephalitis TC83 (VEE) and the bacteriophage MS2. The excitation wavelengths were 266 nm, 273 nm, 280 nm, 365 nm and 405 nm.

On the right, closest to the observer, is the laser head of the Ti:Sapphire laser with its SHG, THG, & 4thHG. Behind it on the right is the head for the DS20-527 pump laser, and behind that is another frequency quadrupled Nd:YLF laser which was used for reference alignment. On the left of the optical table is some electronics for controlling the laser and for processing the signals from the photomultipliers (PMTs) which are used to determine when a particle is about to enter the sample volume of the SPFS. The window that allows the laser beam to pass from the hallway into the BSL-3 room is visible in a blue Roxtex material.

Recorded elastic scattering from 100 particles of 1.5 μm polystyrene spheres illuminated with a 273-nm laser. The inset shows some examples. The elastic signals are all from 273 nm illumination but were focused to different pixels of the ICCD. These signals appear to be at different wavelengths because the elastically scattered light was focused into the slit of the spectrometer at different angles because the particles were at different positions with respect to the collection optics when they were illuminated.

The peaks around the excitation wavelengths are the leakages of the elastic scattering. The spectra excited by 266 nm, 273 nm, and 280 nm are normalized to the same peak intensities at about 330 nm for easy comparisons of spectral profiles.
