Abstract: A system for lighting a stent, i.e., providing an illumination source, to facilitate the capturing of an image of the stent. The lighting is provided so that an image capturing device, e.g., a digital camera or system, will capture an image that distinctly shows the difference between the stent and any surface upon which the stent is mounted, in addition to sharply defining the edges of the stent struts.

Abstract: A method for measuring a flexible colored material during a manufacturing process. The method includes automatically diverting the flexible material from a process path, placing the flexible material in contact with a rotatable drum, and measuring spectral data of the flexible material as the drum rotates. Measuring the spectral data includes scanning the flexible material with a line scanning detector having an array of detectors. The method also includes processing scan information to form a single image of the flexible material.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determination of one or more substances within a material are described. A flow of fluorescence-exciting/ablative energy (e.g., laser pulse(s), preferably in the ultraviolet region (e.g. 193-nm)), is directed onto the material to ablate a thin layer of the material using photochemical decomposition. Simultaneously, the laser energy induces fluorescence of the substance(s) within the ablated layer of the material. The fluorescence emitted by the substance(s) is then received by a device, which measures the spectrum of the received fluorescence. The fluorescence spectra are then transmitted to a spectral processing device adapted to determine, on the basis of the fluorescence spectra, whether the substance(s) of interest is/are present in the material and/or the concentration at which the substance(s) of interest is/are present in the material. This process may be repeated for each layer of the material to determine the concentration gradient of the substance(s) of interest in the material.

Abstract: An apparatus for imaging an array of a plurality of features associated with a sample tile. The apparatus can comprise a stage that supports the sample tile in an illumination region, and an illumination source having a plurality of LEDs adapted to emit light. At least a portion of the light can illuminate the illumination region. Additionally, the apparatus can comprise an image collecting device adapted to selectively collect images of either a first signal when the illumination source is illuminating the illumination region, or a second signal absent illumination of the illumination region. The first signal can have wavelengths effectively different from the wavelengths of the portion of the light emitted by the LEDs that illuminates the illumination region.

Abstract: A method for validating a security feature of an object. The method includes measuring spectral data of the object under a first illumination condition and a second illumination condition. The second illumination condition is different than the first illumination condition. The method also includes determining a presence of the security feature based on the spectral data measured under each illumination condition, and comparing the security feature to a standard.

Abstract: A liquid particle counter for optically detecting an unconstrained particle suspended in a flowing liquid includes a sample chamber having a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet; a laser diode module producing a symmetrically collimated laser beam; a beam shaping optical system directing the laser beam at the sample chamber; and an optical detector located to detect light scattered by the particle in the sample chamber, the detector producing an electric signal characteristic of a parameter of the particle. The laser beam has an energy of a watt or more and passed through an aperture in a black glass aperture element in the sample chamber. The black glass aperture element removes diffracted and stray light from the beam without damage to the sample chamber.

Abstract: A light scatter detector assembly for an analytical instrument, such as a laser flow cytometer or clinical hematology instrument having at least two angles of scatter. A high numerical aperture lens system is used, preferably a system using only two lenses to collect light after interacting with suspended particles passing through a flow cell into a collimated beam. A dark stop having apertures in different locations is interposed in the collimated beam light detected to produce therefrom two optical beams, respectively corresponding to the two scatter signals, e.g., high angle scatter and low angle scatter. The apertures are preferably radial sectors. The two scatter beams are passed to a beam separating element and through a collimating lens onto respective photodetectors. The beam separating element may be a split mirror having two mirrors mounted at an angle to each other, e.g., less than 15.degree., preferably 51/2.degree., to direct the beams in different directions to the two photodetectors. Alternatively, the beam separating element may be a multifaceted prism having at least two refracting portions to direct the two beam outputs to different photodetectors. The same lens may be used to pass the beams directed in different directions by the beam separating element to the two different photodetectors. The two photodetectors are preferably mounted on a single printed circuit board (pcb) in a prealigned manner using conventional pcb component mounting technology.
