  • Patent number: 10520436
    Abstract: An optical scanning system adapted to scan a sample on a chip is provided. The optical scanning system includes at least one optical scanning head, at least one scanning light source, a light receiving device and a processor. Each of at least one optical scanning head includes a focusing light source, a first optical guiding structure, and a control unit. The first optical guiding structure is configured to guide the focusing light emitted from the focusing light source to travel to the sample, and the first optical guiding structure is configured to guide the at least one scanning light emitted from the at least one scanning light source to the sample to generate a secondary light. The control unit is configured to control the first optical guiding structure to keep the focusing light and at least one scanning light focusing on a surface of the chip. The light receiving device receives the secondary light and generates a scanning electronic signal.

  • Publication number: 20120120509
    Abstract: An apparatus of auto-focus module and the related assembly method are provided. The module includes a focus-driving module and a photo-sensor module. The focus-driving module includes a lens set and a focus-driving device. The outer circumference of the lens is a smooth surface and the inner circumference of the lens holder is also a smooth surface. The assembly method includes the steps of: sheathing the lens into the lens holder of the focus-driving device and fastening the lens to the lens holder to form a focus-driving module; maintaining a gap as the space for adjusting the locations of the focus-driving module and the photo-sensor module, and after adjustment, fastening the focus-driving module and the photo-sensor module.

  • Patent number: 5448407
    Abstract: An equivalent Wollaston prism is disclosed for splitting an incident light beam into two adjacent beams which are S-polarized and P-polarized respectively. The polarized light beams are at approximately a right angle with the incident light beam, therefore the structure of optical pick-up head will not be limited to a straight line configuration. The entire structure is compact, easy to align, and economical.
