Abstract
Two or more upconverting particles are attached to each unit of one or more units of a chemical component in a sample, to form, for each unit of the chemical component, a multi-particle complex including the unit of the chemical component and two or more corresponding upconverting particles. The sample is illuminated by input light having a first wavelength. Light is received at an imaging sensor, the received light including output light generated by at least a portion of the upconverting particles attached to the units of the chemical component, the output light having a second wavelength that is shorter than the first wavelength. One or more images of the sample are captured from the received light. Based on the captured one or more images, a presence or a level of the chemical component in the sample is determined.
