摘要: Techniques are described for reducing the number of angles needed in structured illumination imaging of biological samples through the use of patterned flowcells, where nanowells of the patterned flowcells are arranged in, e.g., a square array, or an asymmetrical array. Accordingly, the number of images needed to resolve details of the biological samples is reduced. Techniques are also described for combining structured illumination imaging with line scanning using the patterned flowcells.

摘要: A method is used to generate an analysis image of a moving sample based on one or more exposures. An illumination source illuminates a field of view of a camera for one or more pulses while the sample moves through the field of view. The distance moved by the sample during each of these one or more pulses may be less than the size of one pixel in an image captured by the camera.

摘要: For example, a flowcell includes: a nanowell layer having a first set of nanowells and a second set of nanowells to receive a sample; a first linear waveguide associated with the first set of nanowells, and a second linear waveguide associated with the second set of nanowells; and a first grating for the first linear waveguide, and a second grating for the second linear waveguide, the first and second gratings providing differential coupling of first light and second light.

摘要: An apparatus includes a chassis, a frame, a sample support member, an imaging assembly, an actuation assembly, and a vibration capture assembly. The frame is coupled with the chassis. The sample support member is supported by the frame. The actuation assembly is supported by the frame and is operable to drive movement of the imaging assembly relative to the sample support member. The vibration capture assembly is operable to selectively transition between a plurality of modes, including a damping mode and an isolation mode. In the damping mode, the vibration capture assembly is configured to resist movement of the frame relative to the chassis in response to operation of the actuation assembly. In the isolation mode, the vibration capture assembly is configured to prevent transmission of vibrational movement in the chassis to the frame.

摘要: A method for seeding and amplifying target nucleic acids derived from a sample in a cluster at a site on a surface of a substrate includes retaining at least a portion of the target nucleic acids in an inactive form that cannot seed to provide a relatively low concentration of active form target nucleic acids available for seeding. As the active form target nucleic acids seed on the surface of the substrate, they may be amplified. Because the concentration of active form target nucleic acids is low, the likelihood is low that a second active form target nucleic acid will seed at the same site within the same cluster before the first active form target nucleic acid is sufficiently amplified to dominate. Accordingly, the likelihood that the cluster will pass filters is increased relative to traditional seeding and amplification methods employing a higher concentration of active form target nucleic acids.

摘要: An apparatus and method for imaging includes an imaging system formed of a movable objective stage proximal to a sample and positioned for providing an excitation beam onto and for capturing an emission from the sample. The movable objective stage includes an optical lens apparatus and a turn reflector optically coupled to the imaging optics, where at least one of the optical lens apparatus and the turn reflector are movable relative to one another for scanning the sample, and wherein the movement is achieved while maintaining a substantially fixed optical path length between the optical lens apparatus and a fixed plane in a fixed imaging optics stage.
