Detection systems and methods for capturing and analyzing particles within
a particle sample are provided. The detection system may include, for
example, a particle concentrator that can be used to collect and
concentrate particles on a sample collection surface, an energy source
for providing energy to induce fluorescence in the particles, and a
detector for detecting at least some fluorescence induced in the
particles by the energy source. The detection system may include a heater
and/or cooler for controlling the temperature of the particle sample
during testing.
