Abstract:
The invention relates to a single mode multi-cavity microwave filter that includes a housing formed with a plurality of walls which define at least two rows of side-by-side dielectric loaded cavities, wherein sequential cavities are coupled to one another via slots or probes in the walls therebetween and at least one pair of non-sequential adjacent cavities are coupled via a slot or probe. The coupling via the slots is defined mathematically as positive coupling. The probe is selectively configurable to provide positive or negative coupling relative to the sign of the slot coupling. Further, at least one non-adjacent, non-sequential pair of cavities is coupled via a second probe that may be configured to provide either positive or negative coupling relative to the sign of the slot coupling. The filter housing supports a plurality of adjustable fins which extend into the slots, one fin to each slot, to selectively adjust the size of the slot.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microwave resonator having an external temperature compensation device that is not susceptible to a thermal effect. SOLUTION: The microwave resonator with a cavity having a specific volume has an external temperature compensation structure. The temperature compensation structure is formed on a wall of the microwave resonator. When the microwave resonator and the temperature compensation structure are subjected to distortion caused by heat, the temperature compensation structure applies a restoring force to the wall of the microwave resonator so as to distort the wall oppositely against the distortion caused by the heat thereto maintain the specific volume of the cavity.

Abstract:
A portable imaging apparatus and system. A sample processing device has a reaction chamber configured to receive a sample and react the sample with a fluorescent compound that emits a specified wavelength of light when excited by light within an excitation band. An illumination source can be positioned to illuminate the reaction chamber when the sample processing device is positioned for imaging. A light guide can be positioned to face the reaction chamber and transfer the emitted light to an imaging detector. The light guide has a filter that blocks the wavelength of light from the illumination source and passes the fluorescent emitted light. The light guide unit defines an angular light acceptance range and is configured to constrain angular spreading of light.
