Patent number: 8521491Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus provide correction of chemical images collected with a germanium hemisphere ATR microscope. A model is developed for rays passing through a simulated germanium (Ge) hemisphere attenuated total reflection (ATR) microscope. The model determines a data set for rays reaching the detector plane. Movement of the hemisphere is simulated along a first axis between each data set determination. A calculated background spectrum is produced by multiplying the percentage of rays by a background spectrum to produce a calculated background spectrum. A real Ge hemisphere ATR microscope having parameters that substantially match those of the simulated Ge hemisphere microscope is then used to collect a chemical image of a sample that is in contact with the Ge hemisphere. The collected image is then corrected to produce a corrected chemical image.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Thermo Electron Scientific Instruments LLCInventors: Francis J. Deck, Koichi Nishikida, Federico Izzia

Patent number: 7251085Abstract: An optical resonance analysis system comprising a sensor means (60) and an illumination means (400) for generating non-monochromatic illumination. The illumination means (400) further comprises a means for generating illumination at a plurality of angles, a lens system for projecting said illumination at said plurality of angles (390) and a dispersive device (380) for dispersing said illumination at each of said plurality of angles so that there is a correlation between said plurality of angles and the wavelengths of said illumination such that a resonance condition is generated on said sensor mean (60) for all wavelengths generated by said non-monochromatic source simultaneously. The analysis system also comprises a detection means (90) for detecting the reflected or transmitted illumination. Another embodiment comprises an anamorphic imaging means (120).Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2006Date of Patent: July 31, 2007Assignee: Applera CorporationInventors: Dar Bahatt, Jerry E. Cahill, Koichi Nishikida, Enrico G. Picozza, Paul G. Saviano, David H. Tracy, Yongdong Wang

Patent number: 6430513Abstract: Constituents such as oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin are monitored non-invasively in an animal organ such as a brain with a spectrometric instrument by passing radiation through the organ. Concentrations are computed from the spectral intensities and from a statistical correlation model. To predetermine the correlation model, the procedures are effected for a plurality of organs of a same type with each organ having established concentrations of the selected constituents, and the correlation model is statistically determined from the concentrations and corresponding intensities. For more accuracy computations are normalized to path length which may be determined by utilizing several discrete wavelengths with RF modulations.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2000Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: PerkinElmer Instruments LLCInventors: Yongdong Wang, David H.
