SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSTICS MEASUREMENTS

A base and a diagnostic system for analyzing a sample is described herein. In an embodiment, the system includes a cartridge and a base configured to couple with the cartridge. In an embodiment, the cartridge is configured to hold a sample, and comprises a transparent viewing field positioned in the detection zone. In an embodiment, the base includes a detection component including a window to allow a light from a detection zone of the cartridge to enter the base, and a photodetector positioned to receive the light through the window and configured to generate a signal based on the light received, a plurality of light sources that emit one or more illumination lights onto the detection zone, and a controller communicatively configured to illuminate the detection zone with the plurality of light sources, and generate a detection signal with the photodetector based on the light received.
