Abstract:
A three-dimensional displacement compensation method is provided. The method includes an obtaining step, a transforming step, a first determining step, a first calculating step and a compensating step. The obtaining step includes obtaining a current image of a measured element captured by a microscopic thermoreflectance thermography device. The transforming step includes two sub-steps. One sub-step uses Fourier transform to calculate a reference image to obtain a first result, and the other sub-step uses Fourier transform to calculate the current image to obtain a second result. The first determining step includes determining a peak point coordinate and a fitting diameter of a point spread function of an optical system of the device. The first calculating step includes calculating a three-dimensional displacement of the position to be compensated relative to the reference position. The compensating step compensates the position to be compensated.

Abstract:
A shutter assembly comprising a first planar member and a second planar member opposed from one another and forming a sleeve having a cavity therebetween, the sleeve having a pair of side rails adjacent the cavity along sides of the sleeve. A first shutter member having a first end is disposed in the cavity and slidingly disposed along one of the side rails, and a second shutter member having a second end is disposed in the cavity and slidingly disposed along the other side rail. The first end is opposed to the second end and is configured to be selectively advanced towards, and retracted from, the second end so as to define an aperture therebetween having a first shape when disposed in a first position, and wherein the aperture has a second larger shape when the first end is disposed in a second position. The first shutter member and the second shutter member maintain a thermal contact with the side rails and the planar members in all positions. The shutter assembly is well suited to be used at a cryogenic temperature and in a high vacuum environment.
