LIR consists of a sensor unit LIR-S which manages the function of image acquisition, an external power supply unit LIR-AE which converts the primary electric power to several voltages to distribute them to a regulator and a mechanical shutter, and a baffle which keeps direct sunlight away from the optical aperture.

The developed ACS consisted of two main parts, namely hardware (including sampling unit, kernel singulation unit, image capturing unit, processor (computer), discharge pressure control unit and data acquisition unit), and software (including image processing, fuzzy inference and central control units).
The system exploits the full potential CMOS selective access imaging technology because the coprocessor unit is integrated into the image acquisition loop.
This consists of an area CCD camera, an image acquisition card, stepper motors, optical and mechanical units and a computer system for data acquisition and control.
Additionally, in order to achieve high brightness and high signal-to-noise ratio of the images in the dark enclosed wind tunnel, a new high-speed image acquisition method based on miniature self-emitting units was presented.
Hybridisation, image acquisition, signal quantification and recalculation of arbitary units to telomere length in kb was performed as described previously [30].
Two specialists took five CL images per well, on average, with an acquisition unit consisting of the fluorescence microscope (Orthoplan; Leitz, Stuttgart, Germany) coupled with a 50-W mercury vapor lamp and with a digital camera (F145C; Allied Vision Technologies, Stadtroda, Germany).
FPGA is used mainly for computation unit but also to control image acquisition, laser synchronisation, analog-to-digital conversion, and image storage and displays the result through a VGA interface.
