ABSTRACT:
A system and method is disclosed for detecting and neutralizing disease producing organisms in a body fluid of a patient or in any fluid used for biological experimentation, testing, or production. The system may comprise a laser for irradiating the organisms and a photodetector for detecting radiation emanating from the organisms and an additional optical scanning device which may be a video camera. A computer analyzes scanning signals generated by the scanning device and controls a means for neutralizing the organisms, such as a chemical injector or radiation source, in accordance with the scanning signals. The system may also be used to purify water for drinking or bathing purposes by employing an optical scanning device for detecting organisms in the water such as bacteria, algae, or viruses.
