Abstract

Determining a state of a fungal spore includes defining types of fluorescent biomolecules of interest within the spore. Color characteristics of fluorescent light corresponding to excitement of the fluorescent biomolecules of interest under UV light are stored. Air including the fungal spore is directed to a collection cartridge and trapped. The spore is illuminated with light including UV light. A color image of the spore is captured and analyzed to estimate concentrations of the fluorescent biomolecule of interest. The state of the spore is determined from the estimated concentrations.
