Bernhard Groebler has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6631226
    Abstract: An arrangement and corresponding method are provided for coupling radiation, preferably laser radiation, into a scanning head with a scanning unit in at least two dimensions. The radiation is focussed on an object via a microscope objective via at least one light-conducting fiber which is coupled with the scanning head. A collimator is arranged downstream of the fiber end at the scanning head for collimating the radiation exiting in a divergent manner at the fiber end.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2000
    Date of Patent: October 7, 2003
    Assignee: Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH

  • Patent number: 4786170
    Abstract: An apparatus for the graphic representation and analysis of fluorescence signals that can be employed for the analysis of the decay behavior of pulses in fluorometry. The object of providing an arrangement for quantitative fluorometry, with which images of the spatial distribution of the decay behavior in microobjects in the nanosecond range can be generated and displayed, is accomplished by producing the fluorescence pulse, for example by pulsed laser light, and processing the pulse further in its totality or in parts thereof rapidly reacting electronic devices. The fluorescence energy can be deposited in memory elements and be used for the pictorial representation. The object is moved in grid fashion by an electronic control arrangement and the process can be repeated as often as desired.
