Abstract

In this study, optical-mechatronical techniques are integrated to develop an embedded controller for BioCD image sample inspections. The Linux-based OS is loaded on an ARM platform to code the mandatory embedded controller functions, including image sharpness evaluations for feedback calculations, lenses-carried motor activations for magnifications or autofocusing, piezoactuator displacements for transected sample imaging, human-machine interfacing (graphic user interface, GUI) for accepting user instructions, and touch panel LCD displays for instant image realizations. The developed embedded controller has verified its performances in an experimental BioCD setup.
