Abstract: In a device for moving a slide from a slide tray via a slide chute (3) into a slide gate, an integral component (1) is provided which includes the slide chute (3), a support means for a motor-driven cam (15) and support means for a slide lifter (22), slide pressure means (24, 26) and a tray release lever (16) adapted to arrest a slide tray as well as supporting guide means (6, 6a) for the tray release lever (16) and guides (8d, 8e) adapted to receive the lens mount.

Abstract: A deep-UV step-and-repeat photolithography system includes a narrow-bandwidth pulsed excimer laser illumination source and an all-fused-silica lens assembly. The system is capable ofline definition at the 0.5-micrometer level. One significant feature of the system is its ability to perform wafer focus tracking by simply changing the frequency of the laser.

Abstract: A four-element inverted telephoto projection lens assembly for use in conventional overhead projectors is disclosed. The lens assembly features a reduced projection distance from the lens assembly to the projection screen while retaining the same back focus as conventional two-element projection lenses for overhead projectors.

Abstract: An enlargement system has a light guide mounted inside the lens mount to reflect light from inside the enlarger on to a stop-value scale. A light shut-off ring is positioned relative to the light guide to selectively allow or cut-off the passage of light. In a first position a cut away portion allows light from inside the enlarger to pass through the light guide and illuminate the scale. When the system is used for close-up photography, the shut-off ring is rotated to prevent light that enters through the scale into the light guide from propagating into the enlarger.

Abstract: A retrofit assembly for replacing a lens-containing lamp in an overhead projector. The assembly comprises a quartz-halogen lamp, having an internal reflector and an enlarged base removably mounted in the projector, and a lens holding bracket removably mounted in the projector in alignment with the lamp. The bracket is resiliently pivoted toward the lamp and has a tab for striking the lamp base to retain the lens at a predetermined distance from the lamp.
