摘要:
An imaging apparatus is disclosed for combined temperature and luminescence spatial imaging of an object (1), such as a bio-array for detection of biological molecules. Light (5) is separated into a first (10) and a second (20) optical path, where the first optical path (10) guides infrared (IR), and the second optical path (20) guides luminescence light, preferably fluorescence light, from the object (1). Image intensifying means (30) converts infrared light (10a) in the first optical path into intensified light (10b), preferably visible light. Photo detection means (100) are arranged for spatial imaging of the object (1), the photo detection means being arranged for alternately receiving light from the first (10) and the second (20) optical path. Processing means (200) are capable of combining a temperature image (11) with a luminescence image (21) so as to obtain a combined image (25) of the object with a direct spatial correspondence between the two images. For bio-arrays this provides many advantages in relation to combined imaging of an array, whereupon numerous probe molecules are located.

The present invention concerns a lens system. More specifically, it concerns a lens system comprising a first lens (3), a deflection element (5) and a second lens (6), wherein the deflection element (5) is arranged between the first lens (3) and the second lens (6). The deflection element comprises at least a first annular zone and a second annular zone, the annular zones being arranged in a concentric fashion and wherein the deflection angle of each annular zone is different from the deflection angle of every other annular zone. Furthermore, the present invention concerns a temperature analysis system comprising a lens system and the use of a temperature analysis system.

The invention provides an ink jet device for the positioning of a substance onto a substrate, the device comprising at least a print head comprising a nozzle provided to eject a droplet comprising the substance, the ink jet device further comprising at least one heating element arranged such that the substrate can be heated prior to, during and/or after the landing of a droplet on the substrate.
摘要:
An imprint template configured to imprint an imprintable medium by an imprint lithography process is disclosed, the imprint template having a pattern with a pattern density corresponding to a volume of imprintable medium used to substantially fill pattern features per unit area of a contact face of the imprint template, wherein adjacent regions of the pattern on the imprint template contact face, each of which will provide different functionality once imprinted onto a substrate, have substantially the same pattern density, have differences in pattern density which are minimized, or differences in pattern density which are maintained below a maximum.
摘要:
An imprinting method is disclosed, which in an embodiment, involves contacting an imprintable medium on a substrate with a template to form an imprint in the medium comprising a pattern feature and an area of reduced thickness, separating the template from the imprinted medium, and, after separating the template from the imprinted medium, providing a layer of an etch resistant material on the pattern feature.
