    Abstract: Provided in some aspects are methods for light-controlled in situ surface patterning of a substrate. Compositions such as nucleic acid arrays produced by the methods are also disclosed. In some embodiments, a method disclosed herein comprises using photoresist for photocontrollable hybridization and/or ligation of nucleic acid molecules, wherein photoresist removal allows hybridization and/or ligation of nucleic acid molecules at the exposed area. A large diversity of barcodes can be created in molecules on the substrate via sequential rounds of light exposure, hybridization, and ligation.

    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 machine vision system for calibrating and/or positioning of various motion control modules of an opto-fluidic instrument/tool/instrument having integrated optics and fluidics modules configured for imaging of biological specimens is disclosed. The machine vision system includes determining 3D positions of an object within a reference coordinate system based on a plurality of stereo-images comprising the object; generating a transformation matrix based on the determined 3D positions of the object with respect to a reference position; and calibrating one or more motion control systems based on the determined transformation matrix. The methods also include determining a 3D position of an object within a reference coordinate system based on a stereo-image of the object; generating a 3D offset value between the determined 3D position and a reference location of the object; updating the 3D position using the 3D offset value; and positioning the object based on the corrected 3D position.
