    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for investigating the inside of a tissue cell are disclosed. Embodiments include diffusely scattering light off a target sample, producing two crossing beams from the scattered light, and using a camera to create an image from the light. Some embodiments utilize a Fourier lens and a Fresnel biprism, and optionally include a long-coherence light source, a delay plate (which can be a polarization rotator or an optical flat), and/or a beam expander. Still further embodiments utilize a diffraction grating, a spatial filter (which may include two differently sized apertures), and a Fourier lens, and optionally include differently sized apertures in the spatial filter. Some embodiments include a transparent support and illuminating the target at an oblique angle through the transparent support. Still further embodiments utilize a low-coherence light source and/or immobilizing the sample tissue using surface bonding chemistry.

    Abstract: A metasurface spatial spectrometer includes a beam splitter, a first reflector, a second reflector, and a reception sensor. A reflective surface of the first reflector or the second reflector includes a plurality of sub-wavelength structures with different functions and arranged according to preset positions. The beam splitter is configured to: transmit a first portion of incident light and reflect a second portion of the incident light, transmit a portion of light reflected by the first reflector, and reflect a portion of light reflected by the second reflector. The first reflector is arranged at an angle of 45°, −45°, 135°, or −135° with respect to the beam splitter, and is configured to reflect the second portion of the incident light. The second reflector is arranged perpendicular to the first reflector, and is configured to reflect the first portion of the incident light.

    Abstract: In the disclosure provided herein, the described apparatus, systems and methods are directed to compensation of errors caused by the difference between the specular port and the sphere in a sphere-based color-measurement instrument, and improvement of the performance of the instrument. In one or more implementations, described approaches eliminate the need for hardware replacement, and therefore reduce costs associated with the operation of color measurement instruments.

    Abstract: A method is provided of calibrating a lighting system to enable conversion between i) light output settings for a plurality of lighting channels of the lighting system, each channel having a respective color spectrum from a first set of color spectra, and ii) a light intensity at an area of interest for each of a second set of color spectra. The method derives a calibration matrix, based on a set default light outputs from the lighting channels, a mapping to light spectra to be measured, and light intensities measured at those light spectra. This calibration procedure takes advantage of the fact that using the same measurement device conventionally used for a simple calibration, it is possible to retrieve not only the total measured PPFD, but also partial PPFD values per spectral range.

    Abstract: A method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for Raman spectroscopy. The method may include determining first acquisition parameters of a Raman spectroscope to provide a first acquisition set-up, the determining is based on at least one expected radiation pattern to be detected by a sensor of the Raman spectroscope as a result of an illumination of a first area of a sample, the first area comprises a first nano-scale structure, wherein at least a part of the at least one expected radiation pattern is indicative of at least one property of interest of the first nano-scale structure of the sample; wherein the first acquisition parameters belong to a group of acquisition parameters; setting the Raman spectroscope according to the first acquisition set-up; and acquiring at least one first Raman spectrum of the first nano-scale structure of the sample, while being set according to the first acquisition set-up.

    Abstract: A portable, optical spectrometer provides an extended ignition arc allowing high-voltage components to be contained within a protective housing. Automatic plasma initiation is managed through an optical plasma detector distinguishing plasma contained in the plasma region from breakout plasma. A negative pressure vent receives gases received from the plasma and cools these gases prior to receipt by a remote vent fan through a conduit having sheathing air bleed openings around the vent mixing with other cooling air streams for the electronics. A spring-biased sample jet tube holder allows ready removal and replacement of the sample jet tube while preserving proper alignment with the plasma region.
