Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a portable and/or handheld bioagent detector and methodology described herein that is based in part on advanced Raman Chemical Imaging ('RCI') technology. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the detection system may include a fiber array spectral translator ('FAST') and may also include a probe which may include a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera. The probe alleviates the need to place the main instrument close to an unconfined release of a potentially hazardous material and facilitates analysis of a sample that is situated in a hard-to-reach location while minimizing contamination of the detector and operator.
Abstract:
A biological observation apparatus comprising: an illuminating section that irradiates light to a living body that is a subject to be examined; an image pickup section that photoelectrically converts light reflected from the living body based on the irradiating light and creates an image pickup signal; and a signal processing control section that controls operations of the illuminating section and/or the image pickup section and outputs the image pickup signal to a display device, wherein the signal processing control section includes: a spectral signal creating section that creates a spectral signal corresponding to an optical wavelength narrowband image from the image pickup signal through signal processing; and a color adjusting section that, when outputting the spectral signal to the display device, allocates a different color tone for each of a plurality of bands forming the spectral signal, further wherein the biological observation apparatus further comprises an image quality adjusting section that adjusts an image quality of a signal to be outputted to the display device, or, with the exception of at least the spectral signal creating section and the color adjusting section, the other signal processing sections are shared for respective signal processing on the image pickup signal and on the spectral signal.
Abstract:
A system for imaging radiation emitted by assay couples into a photoeletric detector, the system including a fibre optic bundle (100) for conveying light to the detector, wherein a microlens (118), preferably a drum leans, is located at the impact end of the fibre optic bundle to match the field of view of the bundle to a potential area of interest in a sample.
Abstract:
A luminescence microarray plate suitable for use in luminescent reaction, and a luminescence detecting device utilizing the microarray plate. A partition wall is provided around each microarray minute reaction region to prevent the entry of surrounding luminescence. Luminescence from each minute region is detected by a photo conducting guide. The amount of entry of surrounding luminescence can be reduced and improvements in accuracy and sensitivity can be achieved.
Abstract:
The translucency of a material is determined by illuminating the material and detecting the intensity of radiation leaving the material as a function of distance from the radiation source. The resulting measurements may be used to determine a translucency gradient for the material. In the case of materials in sheet form or having a defined thickness, the translucency can be measured in transmission mode or back scattering mode to measure through translucency or surface translucency .
