Abstract: An apparatus and method for analyzing samples on a slide comprising a slide mover positioned to hold a slide, a imaging spectrometer positioned in the path of light from the slide to split the light line into a light array, a light amplifier may be positioned between the imaging spectrometer and a camera, is disclosed. The camera can detect the entire spectrum of light produced by the imaging spectrometer.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling the plasma potential of a plasma within a plasma chamber (50) is disclosed. The apparatus and method utilize a Faraday shielded inductive source antenna (60) to generate the plasma within the plasma chamber (50) and an electrically conductive probe (100) that is inserted into the plasma chamber (50) to regulate the plasma potential. By independent biasing of the conductive probe (100), which regulates the plasma potential, the ion energy distribution at a conductive substrate (150) within the plasma chamber (50) may be controlled.

Abstract: An apparatus for storing and organizing tools comprising, a generally J-shaped channel (12) having first and second sides (22, 26) and an opening (20), a first magnet (14) disposed within the opening (20), a second magnet (15) disposed along the first side (22) opposite the opening (20) and a magnetically conductive plate (16) positioned on the first magnet (14) disposed within the opening (20), is disclosed.
