  • Publication number: 20240100818
    Abstract: A method for producing separated strip-like laminate components including an electronic component embedded between two laminate layers of a tape-like material. Individual components are placed at defined intervals by a placement device onto a tape-like, lower first laminate layer moved in a conveying direction by a transport device, after which a tape-like, upper second laminate layer moved in the conveying direction is applied to the first laminate layer with embedding of the components to form a laminate tape. The individual strip-like laminate components are cut from the laminate tape by a cutting device having a movable cutting blade, which laminate components are picked up by a gripper device and transported away. The front end of the laminate tape is gripped by the gripper device in the region of a component and moved synchronously with the clocked movement of the transport device by a predetermined distance through the cutting device and positioned relative to the cutting blade.

  • Publication number: 20240085680
    Abstract: The present specification relates to a method for light microscopic examination of a sample (6), in particular by means of laser scanning or MINFLUX microscopy, in which a drift of the sample (6) or of an object in a sample (6) with respect to the light microscope (26) is detected and, if necessary, corrected. In particular, the present specification relates to a corresponding method for examining the sample (6) using laser scanning or MINFLUX microscopy. For this purpose, reference markers (8, 13) are located in the sample, the position of which is repeatedly determined according to the MINFLUX principle in order to determine the drift.
