  • Patent number: 10877286
    Abstract: An optical arrangement includes a stack structure comprising at least three prisms. The optical arrangement includes a main optical path and for each of the prisms, a secondary optical path. The optical arrangement also includes at least one interface. Each of the at least one interface is arranged between a corresponding first stack section of the stack structure and a corresponding second stack section of the stack structure. Each of the at least one interface is configured to enable relative movement of the corresponding first stack section and of the corresponding second stack section with respect to one another.

  • Patent number: 10281701
    Abstract: Microscope and method for high resolution scanning microscopy of a sample, wherein the sample is illuminated; at least one point spot or line spot, which is guided in a scanning manner over the sample, is imaged into a still image; wherein the spot is imaged in a diffraction limited manner into the still image with magnification, and the still image lies still in a plane of detection; the still image is detected for different scan positions with a spatial resolution, which, taking into consideration the magnification, is at least twice as high as a full width at half maximum of the diffraction-limited still image, so that a diffraction pattern of the still image is detected; the diffraction pattern of the still image is evaluated for each scan position, and an image of the sample is generated that has a resolution that is increased beyond the diffraction limit, wherein a detector array is provided that has pixels and is larger than the still image; and radiation of the still image from the plane of detecti

  • Patent number: 10197729
    Abstract: As a result of the size of the detector elements thereof, optoelectronic detectors such as photoelectron multipliers comprising a light-entry region sealed by a protective disc can only be used with much outlay for recording an image of a diffraction-limited focus volume in a two-dimensional spatially resolved manner, even if the image is significantly magnified in relation to the focus volume. The novel detector is intended to enable the spatially resolved detection of point spread functions with little outlay and high accuracy. 2.2 For this purpose, a body made of glass or glass ceramics comprising an opening, in which one end of an optical fiber is arranged, is cemented to the cover disc in such a way that the end of the optical fiber faces the cover disc and the optical axis thereof intersects the light-entry region. Thus, the relative position of optical fiber and entry region can be provided permanently with high accuracy.

  • Patent number: 9221228
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a container featuring at least one hole, and process for making the same. The container is prepared from a sheet-like composite having (i) a polymer outer layer facing the surroundings; (ii) a carrier layer following the polymer outer layer in the direction of the container interior; (iii) a barrier layer following the carrier layer in the direction of the container interior; (iv) an adhesive layer following the barrier layer in the direction of the container interior; and (v) a polymer inner layer following the adhesive layer in the direction of the container interior. The sheet-like composite is prepared by laminating the individual layers, wherein at least the polymer inner layer or the adhesive layer are stretched during application.
