Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system for conducting the identification and quantification of micro-organisms, e.g., bacteria, in biological samples. More particularly, the invention relates to a system comprising a disposable cartridge and an optics cup or cuvette having a tapered surface; wherein the walls are angled to allow for better coating and better striations of the light. The system may utilize the disposable cartridge in the sample processor and the optics cup or cuvette in the optical analyzer, wherein the optics cup also has a floor in the shape of an inverted arch.
Abstract:
양자 효율 측정 방법은, 적분 공간을 갖는 적분기 내의 소정 위치에 시료를 배치하는 스텝(S10)과, 여기광을 시료에 조사하는 동시에, 제2 창을 통해 적분 공간 내의 스펙트럼을 제1 스펙트럼으로서 측정하는 스텝(S12)과, 여기광 입사 부분을 시료를 투과 후의 여기광이 적분 공간 내로 반사되지 않도록 구성하는 스텝(S20)과, 여기광을 시료에 조사하는 동시에, 제2 창을 통해 적분 공간 내의 스펙트럼을 제2 스펙트럼으로서 측정하는 스텝(S22)과, 제1 스펙트럼 중 여기광의 파장 범위에 대응하는 성분과, 제2 스펙트럼 중 여기광을 받아 시료가 발하는 광의 파장 범위에 대응하는 성분에 기초하여, 시료의 양자 효율을 산출하는 스텝(S40, S42, S46)을 포함한다.
Abstract:
A method is introduced for automatically inspecting samples using color, shape, size, and other parameters by means of a novel analysis system and image processing technology. The inspection is based on a highly repeatable imaging in optimal imaging conditions for the samples. The imaging repeatability is valid on a single device instance and on different device instances, at different times and environment conditions. Feature measurements, 'Go/No-go' assessments, and discrimination into classes (such as 'fine', 'medium' and 'course' or 'low quality', 'medium quality', and 'high quality') is performed on samples of materials such as: grains, seeds, flours, processed materials, spices, mechanical parts, printed circuits, pests, mites and the like.
Abstract:
A vision system useful in acquiring images includes: a light dome having a window and a perimeter; an annular light curtain positioned within and radially inwardly from the perimeter of the light dome such that an annular gap is formed between the light dome and the light curtain; and a light ring positioned to illuminate the gap between the light dome and the light curtain. The light curtain and window are sized and positioned such that no direct light from the light ring reaches the window. The system further comprises a camera having a lens facing the window to acquire images of an object on a side of the window opposite the camera. The images acquired by the camera can then be compared to stored images to determine whether the identity of the objects (which may be pharmaceutical tablets) is as expected.
