  • Publication number: 20240385421
    Abstract: The invention concerns a microscopy method and a microscopy apparatus (100), with an illumination modulator (17) which is configured so as to produce a plurality of points of illumination (8, 11) during a scan of a light strip (3) of the illuminating light (27a) with an illumination modulator (17a), the points being in the form of an asymmetrical 2D Bravais lattice (G4, G5, G6) with a first, longer primitive vector (a) and a second, shorter primitive vector (b) and wherein the projection of the first primitive vector (a) onto the axial direction (3a) of the light strip (3) is longer than the projection of the second primitive vector (b) onto the axial direction (3a) of the light strip (3). In combination with a ROI of a detector synchronised to the illumination line, a more rapid confocal acquisition method is obtained with a better signal-to-noise ratio.

  • Publication number: 20240363786
    Abstract: An optical component serves as a nonlinear photodetector for generating a nonlinear electrical signal. The component comprises a first electrically conductive layer, a second electrically conductive layer and an absorption layer. The absorption layer is arranged between the first and the second electrically conductive layer and has a layer thickness of at least 500 nm. The electrical signal is generated by the component by applying a voltage at the component and irradiating the component with electromagnetic radiation in a first wavelength range (?1) with a radiation intensity of less than 10 nW/mm2 and also irradiating the optical component with electromagnetic radiation in a second wavelength range (?2) that is different from the first wavelength range (?1) and a radiation intensity of less than 100 nW/mm2.

  • Patent number: 12128509
    Abstract: A method for joining two metallic, tubular joining members to one another, the method including arranging two metallic, tubular joining members with respect to one another in an overlapping or end-face manner, and joining the joining members by material bond along a joining zone of the joining members. In the joining, a chain of joining spots extending in the circumferential direction of the joining members is produced in the joining zone, wherein successive joining spots in the chain overlap, wherein, in the joining, the joining spots are produced by means of TIG pulse welding with an arc time of up to 100 ms, preferably of up to 50 ms, wherein an arc of a welding pulse of the TIG pulse welding is extinguished after the arc time has been reached. A corresponding welding apparatus is also described.

  • Publication number: 20240294447
    Abstract: A method for producing a target compound includes distributing a feed mixture containing ethane to multiple reaction tubes of a shell-and-tube reactor arranged in parallel, and subjecting to an oxidative catalytic conversion of the ethane in the reaction tubes. The catalytic reaction is carried out by means of catalysis zones with different activity arranged in series in the reaction tubes. One or more catalytically active materials and one or more catalytically inactive materials are provided in each of the catalysis zones. The different activity of the catalysis zones is effected by providing the one or more catalytically active materials having identical or essentially identical basic formulation, wherein the one or more catalytically active materials is or are prepared using different calcination intensities.
