Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems that include: (a) an objective lens system configured to collect light from a sample; (b) a first aperture positioned to allow a portion of the collected light received from the objective lens system to pass as input light; (c) a first lens positioned to transmit the input light received from the first aperture; (d) a dispersive element configured to spatially disperse the input light received from the first lens in a first plane; (e) a second lens positioned to transmit the spatially dispersed light; (f) a second aperture positioned to allow a portion of the spatially dispersed light received from the second lens to pass as detection light; and (g) a detector positioned to receive the detection light and configured to form at least one image of the sample.
Abstract:
The present invention provides systems and methods for measuring an analyte in a medium without exposing the medium to contamination. The systems and methods employ a novel combination of a small sensor device embedded in a Luer cap and capable of wirelessly transmitting data to a reading device.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spectrum measuring device that can, despite a simple configuration, remove or reduce the influences of environmental light contained in the spectrum of an object of measurement and thereby enhance the accuracy of recognition of the object.SOLUTION: A spectrum measuring device 11 recognizes an object of measurement on the basis of spectrum data S0 of observation light detected by a spectrum sensor 14 that is capable of measuring wavelength information and light intensity information. The spectrum measuring device 11 has a first recognition unit 30 dividing or subtracting, by or from the other, one of two sets of spectrum data detected at two different positions by the spectrum sensor 14 to calculate one set of correlation spectrum data correlating to the two original sets of spectrum data, and identifies at the same time the object of measurement corresponding to the two different positions on the basis of the calculated set of correlation spectrum data.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome the defect of low coherence interference measurement and the serviceability and scanning speed of the light source of optical coherent tomography.SOLUTION: A system for calculating the specific data related to at least one of the structure and composition of tissue is equipped with processing arrangement constituted so that the data related to an interference signal formed from at least one first electromagnetic radiation obtained from a sample 86 and at least one second electromagnetic radiation obtained from a reference 82 is received to shift the frequency of at least one of the first and second electromagnetic radiations herein (a), the data is sampled to form the sampled data by a first format (b) and the sampled data is converted to the specific data of a second format [herein, the first and second formats are different from each other] when a predetermined technique is executed (c).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Raman signal measuring method which enables a reduction in the irregularity of signal intensity between fine structure substrates. SOLUTION: A target specimen is brought into contact with the detection surface of the fine structure substrate irradiated with exciting light to produce an electric field increasing field or the target specimen is positioned in the vicinity of the detection surface; the detection surface, with which the target specimen is in contact or in the vicinity of which the target specimen is present, is irradiated with the exciting light; the Raman scattered light produced from the detection surface or from the vicinity thereof is increased; the increased Raman scattered light is detected to obtain the Raman signal produced from the target specimen and a background signal becoming reference; and the intensity of the obtained Raman signal of the target specimen is divided by the intensity of the background signal obtained as the reference to standardize the Raman signal of the target specimen.
