    Abstract: An apparatus includes a sample stage region, an optical assembly, and a camera assembly. The optical assembly includes an objective element, a tube lens, a first dichroic element, and a compensating element. The objective element provides a field of view including the object plane. The tube lens is configured to receive light transmitted through the objective element. The optical assembly is configured to transmit light in at least a first color channel, a second color channel, a third color channel, and a fourth color channel from the tube lens toward the first dichroic element. The first dichroic element is configured to transmit light of the first and third color channels while reflecting light of the second and fourth color channels. The compensating element is configured to induce an astigmatism in the first and third color channels offsetting an astigmatism induced by the dichroic element.

    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for non-volatile storage include a well activation device operable to modify one or more wells from a plurality of wells of a flow cell to provide a set of readable wells. Readable wells are configured to allow exposure of a well to substances from nucleotide sequencing fluids, and prevent exposure to other substances and fluids, such as nucleotide synthesizing fluids. The well activation device may also modify wells to provide a set of writeable wells. This set of wells is configured to allow exposure to the nucleotide synthesizing fluids and substances; and prevent exposure to the nucleotide sequencing fluids and substances. There may also be provisions made for risk mitigation for data errors such as generating commands to write specified data to a nucleotide sequence associated with a particular location in a storage device, reading the nucleotide sequence and performing a comparison.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a flow cell body, a plurality of electrodes, an integrated circuit, and an imaging assembly. The flow cell body defines one or more flow channels and a plurality of wells. Each flow channel is configured to receive a flow of fluid. Each well is fluidically coupled with the corresponding flow channel. Each well is configured to contain at least one polynucleotide. Each electrode is positioned in a corresponding well of the plurality of wells. The electrodes are operable to effect writing of polynucleotides in the corresponding wells. The integrated circuit is operable to drive selective deposition or activation of selected nucleotides to attach to polynucleotides in the wells to thereby generate polynucleotides representing machine-written data in the wells. The imaging assembly is operable to capture images indicative of one or more nucleotides in a polynucleotide.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a flow cell body, a plurality of electrodes, an imaging assembly, and one or more barrier features. The flow cell body defines one or more flow channels and a plurality of wells defined as recesses in the floor of each flow channel. Each well is fluidically coupled with the corresponding flow channel. The flow cell body further defines interstitial surfaces between adjacent wells. Each well defines a corresponding depth. Each electrode is positioned in a corresponding well of the plurality of wells. The electrodes are to effect writing of polynucleotides in the wells. The imaging assembly is to capture images of polynucleotides written in the wells. The one or more barrier features are positioned in the wells, between the wells, or above the wells. The one or more barrier features contain reactions in each well, reduce diffusion between the wells, or reduce optical cross-talk between the wells.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a flow cell body with an array of reaction sites positioned along a floor of a channel. An optical filter layer is positioned under the floor of the channel and includes at least a portion spanning uninterruptedly along a length corresponding to the length of the array of reaction sites. Imaging regions are positioned under the optical filter layer. Each imaging region is positioned directly under a corresponding reaction site. The optical filter layer is configured to permit one or more selected wavelengths of light to pass from each reaction site to the imaging region forming a sensing pair with the reaction site. The optical filter layer is configured to reduce transmission of excitation light directed toward the reaction sites; and to reduce transmission of light emitted from each reaction site to imaging regions not forming a sensing pair with the reaction site.

The storage device may include a set of electrodes corresponding to the storage wells that allow for selective interactions with wells across the surface of a flow cell. Operation of the storage device may include receiving a read request associated with a particular location in the storage device, creating a copy of a nucleotide sequence located at the particular location in the storage device, transferring the copy of the nucleotide sequence to a read location, and reading the copy of the nucleotide sequence at the read location.
