Patents by Inventor Justin Benesch

Justin Benesch 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).

  • INTERFEROMETRIC SCATTERING MICROSCOPY
    Publication number: 20230359009
    Abstract: An interferometric scattering microscope is adapted by performing spatial filtering of output light, which comprises both light scattered from a sample location and illuminating light reflected from the sample location, prior to detection of the output light. The spatial filtering passes the reflected illumination light but with a reduction in intensity that is greater within a predetermined numerical aperture than at larger numerical apertures. This enhances the imaging contrast for coherent illumination, particularly for objects that are weak scatterers.
    Type: Application

  • METHOD OF DETERMINING LIPOPROTEIN CONCENTRATION IN SOLUTION USING LIGHT SCATTERING
    Publication number: 20200378891
    Abstract: The invention relates the use of single particle light scattering, preferably interferometric scattering microscopy (also referred to herein as iSCAT), to measure the concentration of a particle in a solution. The invention furthermore relates to the use of light scattering to detect lipoprotein particles in a sample, and to related diagnostic and treatment methods.
