Method and apparatus for an imaging system
View Patent ↗The present invention provides apparatus for an imaging system comprising a multitude of chemical emitting elements upon a substrate. In some embodiments the substrate may be approximately round with a radius of approximately one inch. Various methods relating to using and producing an imaging system of chemical emitters are disclosed.
1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an array of chemical emitters, wherein the chemical emitters comprise electroactive devices on a base layer, a microfluidic chemical processor which feeds material to the chemical emitters, and wherein there are more than 2 chemical emitters in the array;
wherein the imaging apparatus is operated in a cleanspace fabricator wherein the product of the emission of the chemicals is moved within a sterile environment of the cleanspace fabricator; and
electrical circuits connected to each of the chemical emitters, wherein the electrical circuits bias the electroactive devices based on data related to a model of a tissue to be formed.
2. The imaging apparatus of claim 1 wherein the chemical emitters emit droplets which comprise living cells.
3. The imaging apparatus of claim 2 wherein the cells are omnipotent stem cells.
4. The imaging apparatus of claim 2 wherein the number of chemical emitters exceeds 10.
5. The imaging apparatus of claim 4 wherein the chemical emitters emit droplets that are about 50 microns in size.
