Abstract:
The invention relates to a light source for irradiating molecules present in a detection volume with one or more selected wavelengths of light and directing the fluorescence, absorbance, transmittance, scattering onto one or more detectors. Molecular interactions with the light allow for the identification and quantitation of participating chemical moieties in reactions utilizing physical or chemical tags, most typically fluorescent and chromophore labels. The invention can also use the light source to separately and simultaneously irradiate a plurality of capillaries or other flow confining structures with one or more selected wavelengths of light and separately and simultaneously detect fluorescence produced within the capillaries or other flow confining structures. In various embodiments, the flow confining structures can allow separation or transportation of molecules and include capillary, micro bore and milli bore flow systems. The capillaries are used to separate molecules that are chemically tagged with appropriate fluorescent or chromophore groups.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a fluorescence analysis method for lithium ion determination using free-base phthalocyanine (FBPc) as a molecular probe, and relates to the technical field of fluorescent probes. The method includes the following steps: adding an alkaline organic medium separately into a plurality of reaction vessels, and adding a phthalocyanine organic solution having a same volume as that of the alkaline organic medium; adding lithium ion organic solutions with increasing concentrations in sequence; diluting an obtained reaction system, allowing to stand to conduct a reaction, scanning a fluorescence spectrum of the reaction system, and determining a relative fluorescence intensity at a fluorescence peak. A determination principle is that in organic media, especially an alkaline organic medium, lithium ions can react with the FBPc to emit strong red fluorescence, and generation of the fluorescence has the remarkable characteristics of ultra-sensitivity and high specificity.

An interferometric system and a method of measurement of refractive index spatial distribution for use in digital holographic microscopy to observe samples in reflected as well as transmitted radiation or to observe luminescent samples comprises a first branch and a second branch with a plurality of optical elements. The first branch comprises a diffraction grating located in a plane optically conjugated with the object plane in order to create an achromatic hologram with spatial carrier frequency in the output image plane.
Abstract:
A live biological specimen is imaged by generating a plurality of light sheets; directing the plurality of light sheets along an illumination axis through the biological specimen such that the light sheets spatially and temporally overlap within the biological specimen along an image plane, and optically interact with the biological specimen within the image plane; and recording, at each of a plurality of views, images of the fluorescence emitted along a detection axis from the biological specimen due to the optical interaction between the light sheets and the biological specimen. The temporal overlap is within a time shift that is less than a resolution time that corresponds to a spatial resolution limit of the microscope.
