摘要:
The invention relates to a microsensor or nanosensor for chemical or biological species with surface plasmons. The inventive sensor comprises studs (2) which are distributed over the surface of a support (1), said studs (2) measuring less than 1 µm. Moreover, the studs are made from an electrically-conductive material and can immobilise the chemical or biological species.
摘要:
The invention concerns an analysis support for determining an analyte such as a target DNA or RNA, by using a specific binding reaction (hybridization) of said analyte with a ligand specific of said analyte, and determining the binding reaction using at least two fluorescent markers present on the analyte. Said determination is carried out by applying an excitation field and by detecting the fluorescent emission of the different fluorescent markers. The invention is characterised in that the support comprises a substrate coated with one or several material layers forming an assembly capable of attenuating or increasing the excitation field for at least one of the fluorescent markers relative to the others. The ligands are fixed on the last layer of the assembly. A SiO2 layer on a silicon substrate can be used with the Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescent markers.

The invention concerns a device for measuring dimensional or structural characteristics of an object, comprising: means (2) for forming an image of the optical Fourier transform of an elementary surface of the object in the image focal plane; processing means (26) for producing data concerning at least one dimensional and/or structural characteristic of the object based on the data supplied by the detecting means.
摘要:
The invention concerns a device for enhancing fluorescence comprising a support (10) supporting fluorescence enhancing means (11), the fluorescence enhancing means providing a surface for receiving chemical or biological elements to be read by detection of a fluorescence signal emitted by a fluorophore, associated with the chemical or biological elements, under the effect of an excitation light beam. The fluorescence enhancing means (11) consist of a thin transparent dielectric layer or a stack of thin transparent dielectric layers (12 to 16) ensuring a mirror function for the fluorescence signals and for the excitation light beam, the material of the thin layer or of each thin layer of the stack being selected among the following materials: TiO2, Ta2O5, HfO2, ZrO2, MgO, SiO2, Si3N4, MgF2, YF3. The invention is applicable to a biological or chemical optical sensor.
摘要:
The invention concerns the enhancement of surface-generated fluorescence emitted by a sample. The device (10) comprises a support (11) transmitting all or part of the fluorescence signal and designed to support the surface sample (13), a thin film (12) being inserted between the support (11) and the surface sample (13), the thin film having a refractive index higher than the refractive index of the support and than the refractive index of the medium wherein the surface sample is immersed during the measuring of fluorescence, the thickness of the thin film being selected so that the thin film (12) transmits all or part of the fluorescence signal which is measured after it has passed through the support (11).
