Abstract: Optical systems for DNA sequencing and other assays are described. Microscope designs may include a light source configured to emit an excitation beam and an objective lens disposed to receive the excitation beam, direct the excitation beam to a specimen, and receive emission light emitted by the specimen in response to the excitation beam. A plurality of detection channels includes optics configured to receive at least a portion of the emission light. A first dichroic filter can be disposed to reflect the excitation beam into the objective lens and to transmit the emission light, and a second dichroic filter can be disposed to receive the transmitted emission light, transmit a first portion of the transmitted emission light to a first channel of the plurality of channels, and reflect a second portion of the transmitted emission light to a second channel of the plurality of channels. Imaging or detection performance may further be improved by a reduced angle of incidence between the emission light and some or all of the dichroic filters, and/or by linearly polarizing the excitation beam such that the excitation beam is s-polarized with respect to the first dichroic filter.

Abstract: Methods and systems for sequencing a nucleic acid molecule are described that comprise imaging a first surface and an axially-displaced second surface using a compensation-free optical system, the system comprising an objective lens and at least one image sensor, wherein said optical system has a numerical aperture (NA) of less than 0.6 and a field-of-view (FOV) of greater than 1.0 mm2; and) processing the images of the first surface and the axially-displaced second surface to correct for optical aberration such that the images of the first surface and the axially-displaced second surface have substantially the same optical resolution.

Abstract: Fluorescence imaging system designs are described that provide larger fields-of-view, increased spatial resolution, improved modulation transfer and image quality, higher spatial sampling frequency, faster transitions between image capture when repositioning the sample plane to capture a series of images (e.g., of different fields-of-view), and improved imaging system duty cycle, and thus enable higher throughput image acquisition and analysis for genomics and other imaging applications.

Abstract: Methods and systems for image analysis are provided, and in particular for identifying a set of base-calling locations in a flow cell for DNA sequencing. These include capturing flow cell images after each sequencing step performed on the flow cell, and identifying candidate cluster centers in at least one of the flow cell images. Intensities are determined for each candidate cluster center in a set of flow cell images. Purities are determined for each candidate cluster center based on the intensities. Each candidate cluster center with a purity greater than the purity of the surrounding candidate cluster centers within a distance threshold is added to a template set of base-calling locations.
