    摘要: The present invention provides an FTIR system comprising a first light source emitting light of a first wavelength, a sample volume with an adjacent sensor surface, a detector for detecting light reflected at said sensor surface. The sensor surface is illuminated by said first light source fulfilling the condition of total internal reflection and generating an evanescent field with a decay length within the sample volume. The system further comprises means for changing the decay length of the evanescent field and means for correlating the detected signals with the change of the decay length of the evanescent field.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a sensing device (100) for detecting a target substance (2) in an investigation region (113). The sensing device (100) comprises a sensing surface (112) with an investigation region (113) and a reference region (120) thereon. The sensing device (100) further comprises a reference element (121) located at the reference region (120). The reference element (121) is adapted to shield the reference region (120) from the target substance (2) such that light reflected at the reference region (120) under total internal reflection conditions remains unaffected by the presence or absence of the target substance (2). This allows measuring a property, typically the intensity, of light reflected at the reference region (120) independent of the presence or absence of the target substance (2). This measured property of the reflected light can be used for performing an improved correction of light reflected at the investigation region (113).

    摘要: A microelectronic sensor device and a method for making optical examinations at a carrier for the detection of magnetic particles, for example, at a contact surface of the carrier by frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR), include a light source with a laser modulator for emitting an input light beam into the carrier. The input light beam is modulated such that optical interferences with reflections of the input light beam from the entrance window, or from other components of the carrier, are reduced or minimized. This can be achieved by a pulsed on/off modulation in which the first relaxation minimum of a currently emitted pulse (PN) coincides in the light source with the first relaxation maximum of a reflected pulse (PN-1′). By reducing the effect of interferences, the setup is less prone to disturbances from dimensional variations that are induced by thermal extension, for example.

    摘要: The invention relates to focusing optics (100) for a biosensor (10) which allow with simple means to accurately image an extended investigation region (13) onto a detector plane (P). To this end, the focusing optics (100) comprises at least two focusing lenslets (LL) that are arranged adjacent to each other such that they image an incident parallel light beam (L2) that is directed along a main optical axis (MOA) onto a common plane (P). The output light beam (L2) that is received by the focusing optics (100) may preferably originate from total internal reflection of a parallel input light beam (L1) at the investigation region (13) of a transparent carrier.

    摘要: The invention relates to a microelectronic sensor device for the examination of target particles (1) that are bound to binding sites (3) at the binding surface (12) of a carrier (11). In a preferred embodiment, an input light beam (L1) is transmitted into the carrier (11), where a frustrated total internal reflection (FTIR) takes place at the binding surface (12). The amount of light in a resulting output light beam (L2) is detected by a light detector (31) and provides information about the presence of target particles at the binding surface. Moreover, an actuation unit (50) induces movements of the bound target particles (1) by an interaction with a magnetic field (B) or an electric field, particularly with a given modulation frequency (COIn), such that by a demodulation of the detector signal (S) effects of the target particles can be distinguished from background.
