Abstract: A light diverting channel for use in a scanner. The channel is incorporated into the cover of a flat bed scanner and transmits light from the lamps positioned longitudinally along the scanner, up through the side of the channel, and through a central region or sheet of the channel, and then down through objects to be scanned. The light diverting channel thereby more efficiently uses the light generated by the lamps and more evenly disburses the light over and through the object to be scanned.

Abstract: An optical scanner employs a scanning head provided with an array of light-emitting apertures. According to one embodiment, for example, light is directed through wave-guides or optical fibers, embedded in the scanning head, to the apertures. The head is oscillated by a micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) motor. This generates a rapidly sweeping array of light spots on the scanned surface. Light is projected to a scanned surface and collected through the same apertures. In an alternate embodiment, scanning head is provided with separate optical fibers, one for each light spot. Each fiber is vibrated by a separate MEMS motor and individually oscillated in synchrony.

Abstract: The present invention provides a scanning confocal microscope image detection system having a simple and inexpensive objective lens and a high acceleration/high speed voice coil driven translation system. The objective lens provides high light collection efficiency at low cost. The voice coil provides improved acceleration for fast scanning of at least one axis (scanning direction; fast scan axis) of a polymer array that can be used effectively with the inexpensive objective lens having high light collection efficiency. In one embodiment the translation stage includes a voice coil, a linear slide, and a light weight bracket connecting the voice coil to the linear slide. The bracket is rigid and designed to support a polymer array to be scanned or a turning prism and objective lens. Thus, the present invention provides systems and methods for high speed low cost scanning of, for example, polymer arrays, i.e., high performance cost effective polymer array scanning using a voice coil driven translation stage.

Abstract: A microscopic hyperspectral imaging scanner has a microscopic front objective lens, a spatial window for selectively passing a portion of the image therethrough, and a CCD array for receiving the passed portion of the image. The spatial window and CCD array are mounted for tandem reciprocating movement relative to the front object lens. In one embodiment, the spatial window is a slit and the CCD array is one-dimensional, and successive rows of the image in the focal plane of the front objective lens are passed to the CCD array by an image relay lens interposed between the slit and the CCD array. In another embodiment, the spatial window is a slit, the CCD array is two-dimensional, and a prism-grating-prism optical spectrometer is interposed between the slit and the CCD array so as to cause the scanned row to be split into a plurality of spectral separations onto the CCD array. In another embodiment, the CCD array is two-dimensional and the spatial window is a rectangular linear variable filter (“LVF”) window, so as to cause the scanned rows impinging on the LVF to be bandpass filtered into spectral components onto the CCD array through an image relay lens interposed between the LVF and the CCD array.

Abstract: An active confocal image acquisition apparatus includes a confocal image acquisition system and a liquid crystal panel. The liquid crystal panel is disposed in the confocal image acquisition system so that its elements are aligned with elements of the detector. The light transmittance of elements of the liquid crystal panel is adjusted so as to make the intensities of reflection of all pixels (the values attained when the parts reflecting light are at or near the focused position) as close to a predetermined level as possible. By this configuration and method of using it, the active confocal image acquisition apparatus can perform accurate measurement if there are high-reflectance and low-reflectance parts together in the measuring field.
