Multiple Camera Fluorescence Detection for Real-Time PCR

The general polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifies DNA and analyzes the amplification results of quantified DNA. Recently, real-time PCR has been developed to detect in various ways. conventional camera-based system is too expensive difficult reduce device size. In this paper, we propose a low-cost, compact fluorescence detection for systems using an open platform camera. To simplify optics, four low-cost small cameras were fixedly placed, entire tube was divided into quadrants minimize field view. addition, effective image processing method used compensate. proposed measured performance on basis amount fluorescent substances.
