    摘要: A technique for distinguishing between closely related biological compounds by staining one of the compounds with a mixture of dyes, at least two of which bind to a first one of the compounds with a first difference in binding energies. The dyed compound is spectrally excited, and the intensities of a selected pair of widely separated spectral peaks are measured and ratioed. For that mixture of dyes and the selected pair of peaks, the ratio is characteristic of the first compound and can be used to distinguish that first compound from other closely related compounds by comparison of the measured ratio with standard values attained by dyeing known samples of the various closely related compounds with the same combination of dyes and measuring the intensities at the same selected pair of peaks.

    摘要: Free floating viruses are detected and sized by a method which combines fluorescent staining with the observation of a modulation of the fluorescence intensity by Brownian motion of the particles in combination with a spatial filter. Intensity modulation and fluorescence data provides a set of descriptors useful in distinguishing the type of virus involved, particularly if also combined with data regarding the scattering of light by the particles. The method and apparatus are also usable in connection with detection and classification of other biological particles having the same order of magnitude of size as viruses.

    摘要: A technique for dyeing biological samples with dyes that are relatively insoluble in water or with combinations of dyes which are incompatible. The technique involves forming an emulsion of an immiscible solvent as the dispersed phase in water. The solvent can contain a very high concentration of a dye which is relatively insoluble in water, therefore constituting a reservoir for the diffusion of dye from the high concentration dispersed phase, through the water to the staining sites. In another aspect of the invention, one or more dispersed phases of dyes in immiscible solvents suspended in water provides a dye system for using a plurality of dyes which normally one would avoid mixing because they are incompatible. Additionally, another dyestuff can be dissolved in the water phase of the emulsion.

    摘要: A chemical measuring system of the titration type comprises an elongated, hollow conduit, the walls of which are formed of a porous membrane. The conduit is suspended in a body of titrant. In operation a sample fluid is passed through the conduit. Titrant permeates the walls of the conduit and reacts with the sample. An end point is observed by an observable change at some position along the conduit, that position being proportional to the concentration of the sample.

    摘要: A fluorescence spectroscopic device and method of using an attenuated, total, multiple reflection slab on one surface of which a sample is placed. A beam of fluorescence-exciting radiation is passed through the slab by multiple reflections. A detector is located alongside the slab and out of the path of any of the exciting radiation to pick up fluorescent emission passing through the cell and across the path of the exciting radiation. The slab thereby serves as a no-loss secondary filter with respect to the fluorescence, permitting the latter to be easily distinguishable from the exciting radiation even where the wavelengths are similar.

    摘要: An electronic image-encoder with an SEC vidicon in which the electron beam is positioned according to a coordinate pair stored as digital signals and applied as analog signals to the deflection coils of the vidicon. This permits the beam to read selected points on the vidicon target and the beam is blanked until the desired deflection signals are applied. In one version of the device, the deflection signals are simply voltages corresponding to the values of the digital signals. In another version, one digital signal is converted to an analog deflection voltage and a standard ramp is used as the other deflection voltage, the beam being turned on to read only after a time interval following initiation of the ramp, which interval is proportional to the other digital signal. A special application of the encoder incorporates a crosseddispersion optical system for projecting several stacked spectral orders into the vidicon target. In all cases, the electron beam actuation provides an output signal corresponding to the image intensity at the point selected by the digital signal pair, and this output signal is digitized for storage, manipulation or display.
