  • Patent number: 9664620
    Abstract: A microscope including a sample carrier configured to support a sample. Excitation light illuminates the sample via an excitation beam path, Detection light from the sample is guided to detection means via a detection beam path. Through an objective arranged along the optical axis, excitation light is guided in direction of the sample carrier and detection light coming from the sample is guided in direction of the detection means. Beam-splitting means separate excitation light and detection light. Also provided are means for generating a light sheet from excitation light, and means for illuminating the sample with this light sheet. The light sheet lies in a plane at a nonzero angle to the optical axis. The means for illuminating the sample include an optical-deflecting device arranged on or at the sample carrier, which deflects excitation light from the objective into the plane of the light sheet via an optically active surface.

  • Patent number: 9606264
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display for rendering content. The display may include a protective sheet that is located between an image-displaying component and a liquid optically clear adhesive (LOCA) that adheres another component layered atop the display, such as a front light, a touch sensor or a cover layer. In some cases, the protective sheet may be a polymer sheet coated with a layer of ceramic material that prevents migration of a reactive species, such as a photoinitiator, between the protective sheet and the LOCA. Alternatively, a plasma treatment, a UV-light-ozone treatment, or a thermal treatment may be applied to the protective sheet to remove material including the reactive species and/or form a barrier layer to prevent migration of the reactive species. Still alternatively, the protective sheet may be a thin flexible glass sheet that does not include constituents that interact with the LOCA.
