    Abstract: A substantially self-contained “on-board” material system investigation system for effecting relative translational and rotational motion between a source and detector of electromagnetic radiation and a sample, which system is functionally mounted on a three dimensional locational system to enable positioning at desired locations on, and distances from, the surface of a sample, including the capability to easily and conveniently effect rotation and/or to change the angle-of-incidence of a beam of electromagnetic radiation onto a sample surface and/or to provide gas flow confined in a mini-chamber near the surface of a sample, at a location at which a beam having UV, VUV, IR and/or NIR wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation is caused to be impinged thereupon.

    Abstract: A sensor unit is for use in a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assay apparatus having an assay stage. A total reflection prism is supported on a stage surface of the assay stage, and has a sensing surface positioned on an upper surface thereof. The sensing surface receives illuminating light applied thereto to reflect the illuminating light. The assay apparatus receives the illuminating light reflected by the sensing surface, for measuring reaction of a sample. Two engageable ridges are disposed on first and second lateral faces of the prism which are so positioned that the sensing surface is disposed between, and keep the prism positioned on the stage surface by engagement with a retention mechanism of the assay apparatus. Furthermore, a grip portion is formed at a first end of the prism, and adapted to holding of the prism.

    Abstract: An apparatus for holding a generally flat color sample in a plurality of fixed and repeatable positions in proximity with the optics of a portable color instrument with a uniform and repeatable force. The apparatus has a platform upon which the portable color instrument is secured, a sample stage with multiple index planes upon which a color sample is placed, and a device which urges a pressure foot against the color sample, thereby holding the color sample in position on the stage with a uniform and repeatable force.

    Abstract: An embodiment of a microscope system is described that comprises a sample stage configured to position a sample; and a spectrometer comprising an interferometer configure to provide a light beam to the sample stage and one or more detectors configured to detect light spectra in response to the light beam, wherein the spectrometer sends a notification to the sample stage after a scan comprising an acceptable measure of quality has been acquired from the detected light spectra at a first location, and the sample stage is further configured to count the notifications and initiate movement of the sample stage to a second location when a count value reaches a pre-determined number.
