Abstract: Described herein is a field effect transistor sensor including: a substrate, a source electrode, a drain electrode, a gate electrode functionalized with a layer of biological recognition elements, a source-drain channel and a semiconductor layer. The layer of biological recognition elements of the gate electrode is patterned into a plurality of uncoupled domains.

Abstract: A process and an apparatus for the plenoptic capture of photographic or cinematographic images of an object or a 3D scene (10) of interest are based on a correlated light emitting source and correlation measurement, along the line of “Correlation Plenoptic Imaging” (CPI). A first image sensor (Da) and a second image sensor (Db) detect images along a path of a first light beam (a) and a second light beam (b), respectively. A processing unit (100) of the intensities detected by the synchronized image sensors (Da, Db) is configured to retrieve the propagation direction of light by measuring spatio-temporal correlations between light intensities detected in the image planes of at least two arbitrary planes (P?, P?; D?b, D?a) chosen in the vicinity of the object or within the 3D scene (10).

Abstract: A process and device for the plenoptic capture of photographic or cinematographic images are described, both based on the correlation measure or “Correlation Plenoptic Imaging” (CPI), comprising the steps of splitting a primary light beam (6) coming from at least one light source in at least two distinct light beams (7, 8), directing said distinct light beams towards two image capturing sensors to capture images, so that the first light beam is directed towards at least one first capturing sensor to capture a spatial measure of a scene and the second light beam is directed towards a second capturing sensor to capture an angular measure of said scene, said angular measure being adapted to provide the propagation direction of the light beam coming from the scene, said spatial measure being adapted to provide the conventional two-dimensional capture of the image of the scene.

Abstract: A method of functionalization of a gate electrode of a field-effect transistor sensor includes forming a layer of biological recognition elements on a surface of said gate electrode, wherein said layer of biological recognition elements includes a self-assembled structure of one or more specific-binding-pair-forming substances (anti-hIg, anti-IgG, anti-IgM). The layer of biological recognition elements is treated with a solution containing a blocking agent to fill vacancies and prevent nonspecific binding in the self-assembled structure. One or more specific-binding-pair-forming substances immobilized in said layer of biological recognition elements are packed at a density of 0.1×104 ?m?2 and 10×104 ?m?2, preferably between 1×104 ?m?2 and 2×104 ?m?2.
