    摘要: A radiation-source unit is described which produces a radiation beam (30) with two components (9, 10) which are polarized perpendicularly relative to one another and which have different frequencies. The unit comprises a radiation source, a beam splitter (4), an acousto-optical modulation system (13, 18) for generating the frequency difference, and a beam combiner (25). Since the beam splitter and the beam combiner are transmission elements and their connecting line extends through the center of the modulation system the unit is compact and no alignment problems occur. Moreover, the frequency difference is adjustable over a wide range.

    摘要: A system and method is described for detecting a plurality of analytes in a sample. The characterization system (100) comprises an aperture array (108) and a lens array (110) for generating and focusing a plurality of excitation sub-beams on different sub-regions of a substrate. These sub-regions can be provided with different binding sites for binding different analytes in the sample. By detecting the different luminescent responses in a detector, the presence or amount of different analytes can be determined simultaneously. Alternatively or in addition thereto collection of the luminescence radiation can be performed using the lens array for directly collecting the luminescence response and for guiding the collected luminescence response to corresponding apertures. In a preferred embodiment, the excitation sub-beams are focused at the side of the substrate opposite of the lens array and an immersion fluid is provided between the lens array and the substrate to increase the collection efficiency of the luminescence radiation.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of determining a parameter relating to image blur in an imaging system (IS) comprising the step of illuminating an object having a test pattern (MTP) by means of the imaging system (IS), thereby forming an image of the test pattern. The test pattern (MTP) has a size smaller than the resolution of the imaging system (IS), which makes the image of the test pattern independent of illuminator aberrations. The test pattern (MTP) is an isolated pattern, which causes the image to be free of optical proximity effects. The image is blurred due to stochastic fluctuations in the imaging system and/or in the detector detecting the blurred image. The parameter relating to the image blur is determined from a parameter relating to the shape of the blurred image. According to the invention, resist diffusion and/or focus noise may be characterized. In the method of designing a mask, the parameter relating to the image blur due to diffusion in the resist is taken into account. The computer program according to the invention is able to execute the step of determining the parameter relating to the image blur from a parameter relating to a shape of the blurred image.
