QUANTIFYING CONSTITUENTS IN A SAMPLE CHAMBER USING IMAGES OF DEPTH REGIONS

Abstract: an apparatus includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions. the instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the apparatus to: determine that a sample chamber contains a first type of biological sample, where the sample chamber includes a bottom wall through which an imaging device can image the sample chamber; provide images by controlling the imaging device to, for each depth of a plurality of depths: focus on the respective depth, and capture one or more images containing the respective depth in the sample chamber; counting one or more constituents in the images to determine one or more depth distributions of the constituent(s) across the plurality of depths, where the constituent(s) include a constituent of interest; and quantifying the constituent of interest in the biological sample based on the one or more depth distributions and based on one or more depth distribution curves.
