Richard Stahl, PhD, is a Senior Researcher in the Integrated Imaging team at IMEC, Belgium. His main research interests are holography, diffractive optics and their application in display and imaging technologies, designing and developing systems and proof-of-concept prototypes that take advantage of the advanced semiconductor integration technologies. In the recent years he has worked on design, development and integration of customized lens-free microscopes for life science applications, such as automated stem-cell monitoring system, cardiac contractility assay or a high-throughput single-cell imaging system for blood cell analysis. He received his PhD degree from Katholieke Universiteit in Leuven, Belgium in 2006 and his Master degree from Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia in 2000.

Imagine an inexpensive, portable and label-free (blood) cell analyzer that can be used in emergency or resource-limited settings. Our goal is to use the versatility and scalability of semiconductor technologies to develop such a high-throughput single-cell analyzer using miniaturized lens-free microscopes integrated into a self-contained single-chip system. While our previously reported results confirm that such devices can reach sufficient performance, a number of challenges needs to be addressed in the imaging, micro-fluidics as well as photonic sub-systems. Here we give an overview of the system design, report the progress in development and integration of the individual hardware components, and showcase the system demonstrators with integrated photonics and micro-fluidics. We also report the advances on image reconstruction and cell classification algorithms and discuss the latest results from experiments on analyzing and sorting subtypes of white blood cells with our cell-sorting devices.
