    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods to filter infrared spectrum radiation that can be integrated with a compact optical system for an infrared imaging system. The optical system includes an objective lens element configured to receive and transmit infrared (IR) radiation from a scene, where the IR radiation from the scene includes a particular range of wavelengths corresponding to an absorption spectrum or a transmission spectrum of a gas. The optical system also includes a spectral lens element configured to receive the IR radiation transmitted through the objective lens element, where the spectral lens element comprises a first interference filter disposed on a first surface of the spectral lens element. The interference filter is configured to filter the IR radiation transmitted through the objective lens element to a narrower wavelength band that includes the particular range of wavelengths.

    Abstract: A shutter assembly includes a first shutter blade having a first toothed arm extending therefrom and a first light transmitting aperture therein, and a second shutter blade positioned adjacent and parallel to the first shutter blade. The second shutter blade has a second toothed arm extending therefrom and a second light transmitting aperture therein. The first and second shutter blades are supported to allow parallel linear motion. A motor gear is disposed between, and meshed with, the first and second toothed arms such that rotation of the gear causes the first and second shutter blades to move linearly in opposite directions between an open position in which the first and second light transmitting apertures are in an overlapping relationship with respect to one another, and a closed position in which the first and second light transmitting apertures are in a non-overlapping relationship with respect to one another.

    Abstract: A diagnostic analyzer includes a track, a light-blocking member, a motor, and an optical testing device. The track moves a reaction vessel held by the track. The light-blocking member is disposed adjacent to the track. The light-blocking member moves from a first position apart from the track to a second position closer to the track. When the light-blocking member is disposed in the first position a sample contained within the reaction vessel held by the track is exposed to light. When the light-blocking member is disposed in the second position the sample contained within the reaction vessel held by the track is blocked from exposure to the light. The motor moves the light-blocking member between the first and the second positions. The optical testing device is disposed adjacent to the track for optically testing the sample contained within the reaction vessel held by the track when the at least one light-blocking member is disposed in the second position.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for visually detecting when a luminescent dissolved oxygen sensor is operating is disclosed. In one example embodiment of the invention, a shutter is placed into the light tight container. When the shutter is open, a user can see into the light tight container and verify probe operation. When the shutter is closed, external light is prevented from entering the light tight container and affecting measurement accuracy. In another example embodiment of the invention, one end of a light pipe is placed on the outside of the light tight container, and the other end is positioned to view the light source of the probe. In another example embodiment of the invention a second light source, visible on the outside of the light tight container, is used to verify operation of the probe. In another example embodiment of the invention, a predetermined area is left open in the optically opaque hydrostatically transparent on the face of the sensor window, allowing a user to see light from the sensor when the sensor is operating properly.
