Detection of Bacillus anthracis by NotiFy-FISH under field conditions.
Signals for Bacillus anthracis detected by the probes Bac1157 (left) and EUB (middle) after hybridization with urea-based lyophilized reagents and DAPI staining (right) were recorded with a conventional smartphone through the lens of a portable, battery-operated, fluorescence LED microscope.
