  • Patent number: 9645098
    Abstract: The invention relates to a detection system (1) for detecting a soldered joint (16, 17) of an electronic component (10), particularly an integrated circuit. The component comprises a cuboid enclosure. The detection system comprises a detection device (2) with an emitter (5) for electromagnetic radiation and a detector (6) for the electromagnetic radiation. The detection device is designed to generate electromagnetic radiation (18, 19) with the emitter and to transmit said radiation to the component. The detector is arranged and designed to detect electromagnetic radiation (18?, 19?) reflected by the component and to generate an image data set representing the reflected radiation.

  • Patent number: 9360416
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for twin-focus photothermal correlation spectroscopy for the characterization of dynamical processes in liquids and biomaterials with the help of absorbing markers. Thereby non-fluorescent absorbing nano objects are heated by an intensity-modulated heating laser which leads to a refractive index gradient lens around the object. This refractive index gradient is detected by a detection laser with a focal volume that, depending on the position of the heated object relative to the focal plane of the detection beam, splits into two-sub-volumes forming a twin-focus comprising two sharply separated parts of a focal volume showing no spatial overlap.
