Evaluation system of open platform cameras for bio-imaging

With the development of smartphones, cameras based on ultra-small, high-definition, and open platforms has been mass-produced. In this paper, we built an emulation system to verify the bio-imaging performance of bulky and expensive high-performance cameras previously used in bio-imaging devices, and various smartphone cameras. Four types of cameras were tested in the emulator, and the gel image analysis results were compared by selecting three cameras with more linear changes in slope, which matched the performance evaluation in the emulator.
