description | Conventional electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is widely used for monitoring the fluids flow in a pipeline. As the emergence of microfluidics, the tomography system has been miniaturized and integrated into the microfludic platform for imaging purposes. The on-chip ECT is designed to monitor the permittivity distribution of the micro-platform by integrating the planar electrodes with the sensing region. However, limited research has been reported on the electrode design of on-chip ECT, especially for three-dimensional imaging. Thus, this study investigated the electrode design of an on-chip ECT that is capable for image reconstruction in three-dimensions. Four different electrode configurations with different numbers of electrode and arrangements are investigated by simulation to determine the appropriate configuration for three-dimensional imaging. The electrode dimension is optimized based on the sensitivity distribution using the sensitivity variation parameter (SVP). The simulation results shows that the electrode configuration with dual sensing planes enable three-dimensional imaging. The central electrode of each sensing plane is crucial for restoring a floating object. In experiment, the imaging object that was positioned at different vertical and horizontal locations was reconstructed successfully with an average correlation coefficient of 0.4370 using linear back projection (LBP) algorithm. This work has disclosed the appropriate electrode configuration for the three-dimensional imaging of an on-chip ECT system. |
