Patent number: 9816929Abstract: The invention provides imaging apparatus and methods useful for obtaining a high resolution image of a sample at rapid scan rates. A rectangular detector array having a horizontal dimension that is longer than the vertical dimension can be used along with imaging optics positioned to direct a rectangular image of a portion of a sample to the rectangular detector array. A scanning device can be configured to scan the sample in a scan-axis dimension, wherein the vertical dimension for the rectangular detector array and the shorter of the two rectangular dimensions for the image are in the scan-axis dimension, and wherein the vertical dimension for the rectangular detector array is short enough to achieve confocality in a single axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: ILLUMINA, INC.Inventors: Wenyi Feng, Theofilos Kotseroglou, Mark Wang, Alexander Triener, Diping Che, Robert Kain

Patent number: 9347440Abstract: A flow cell for use in a microfluidic detection system. The flow cell includes a flow cell body having a channel that extends along the flow cell body. The flow cell body has a substrate material that extends along the channel and that is transparent to at least one of excitation light or light emissions. The channel has a functionalized channel surface that includes reactive groups configured to attach to molecules for biochemical analysis. The flow cell also includes fluidic inlet and fluidic outlet ports provided on the flow cell body and an electroosmotic (EO) pump held within the flow cell body in fluid communication with the channel. The EO pump is operable to induce flow of a solution from the inlet port to the outlet port and along the functionalized channel surface.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2012Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Illumina, Inc.Inventors: Michal Lebl, Dale Buermann, Mark T.

Patent number: 9139875Abstract: An optical system configured to detect optical signals during imaging sessions. The optical system includes an objective lens that has a collecting end that is positioned proximate to a sample and configured to receive optical signals therefrom. The optical system also includes a removable path compensator that is configured to be located at an imaging position between the collecting end of the objective lens and the sample. The path compensator adjusts an optical path of the light emissions when in the imaging position. Also, the optical system includes a transfer device that is configured to move the path compensator. The transfer device locates the path compensator at the imaging position for a first imaging session and removes the path compensator from the imaging position for a second imaging session.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Illumina, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Triener, Erik Allegoren, Wenyi Feng, Dale Buermann, Erik Olson, James Osmus
