    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for preparing biological samples for in situ analysis of one or more analytes wherein the biological sample has been previously affixed to a substrate, which in some cases may not be compatible with in situ analysis, for example, due to the absence of positional markers and/or fiducial markers and/or a region suitable for in situ signal detection on the substrate. In some aspects, a hydrophobic adapter having positional markers and/or fiducial markers is applied to the substrate to which a biological sample has been affixed, thus enabling in situ sample processing and analysis of the biological sample. The hydrophobic adhesive label or adapter can be used for automated microscope alignment and sample preparation.

    Abstract: Techniques for spectral unmixing and decoding for in situ analysis are provided. Input hypercube data comprising voxel data, raw channel data, and decoding round data are obtained, and an initial iteration of codeword data determination is performed. Performing the initial iteration includes generating initial feature data and initial unmixed fluorescence data, generating initial uncorrected codeword data, and generating initial corrected codeword data. One or more subsequent iterations of codeword data determination are then performed based on the input hypercube data and based on feature data, unmixed fluorescence data, uncorrected codeword data, and corrected codeword data from one or more previous iterations. When it is determined that one or more convergence conditions have been satisfied, output comprising an optimized estimate of fluorescence data, and an optimized estimate of uncorrected codeword data, and an optimized estimate of corrected codeword data is generated.

    Abstract: Disclosed are assemblies, systems, and methods for transilluminating a sample disposed within a device. An assembly includes a first optically transparent substrate configured to receive a biological sample, a second optically transparent substrate having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a plurality of sides. The first substrate contacts the top surface of the second substrate. The assembly includes at least one light source configured to illuminate at least one of the plurality of sides of the second substrate and a light scattering layer on the bottom surface of the second substrate. The light scattering layer is configured to scatter light from the light source. The assembly includes a thermal control module coupled to the second substrate and configured to control the temperature of the second substrate.

    Abstract: A tilted structured illumination pattern for use in an optical system is generated, wherein the tilted structured illumination pattern is not symmetrical about a center point of a back pupil of the system, and wherein the tilted structured illumination pattern is based on exactly two wave vectors and defines spatial frequencies along an optical axis of an objective of the system. The tilted structured illumination pattern is directed to be incident on a sample, such that one or more fluorophores of the sample are excited by the structured illumination pattern. A phase of the tilted structured illumination pattern is varied. A set of images of fluorescence emission emitted by the sample is captured, wherein each image of the set of images corresponds to a respective phase of the tilted structured illumination pattern and to a respective axial imaging plane. Combined image data is generated based on the set of images.
