Abstract: Device (100) for attesting the operations of an in-vitro diagnostic device (50) comprising: a block (101) for capturing a plurality of frames of the tip (51); a block (102) for storing the plurality of frames; a block (103) for evaluating the right hooking of the tip (51) to the in-vitro diagnostic device (50); a block (104) for evaluating the volume of a liquid contained in the tip (51); a block (105) for carrying out verification before the operation of dispensing the liquid; a block (106) for carrying out a post-dispensing verification; blocks (107, 108) for emitting electronic signals; a block (109) for integrating a system for managing the errors; a block (110) for saving the data; a block (111) for communicating with the in-vitro diagnostic device (50).

Abstract: A method for operating a point laser-scanning microscope includes scanning a sample with a focused illumination laser beam; recording a plurality of images by detecting elements being configurable to an intensity mode, in which the recorded images are intensity images gi,j(n) related to photons collected during an entire dwell time of the illumination beam on an individual position n, or to a time-resolved mode, in which the recorded images are time-resolved images gi,jt(n, t), the collected photons being discriminated based on their arrival times to individual detecting elements; calculating a fingerprint image a by summing the plurality of intensity images gi,j(n) over all positions n; estimating shift matrices sx and sy from the intensity images gi,j(n); reconstructing at least one of a time-resolved object function ft and an intensity object function f; and visualizing at least one of a high-resolution time-resolved image ft˜ and a high-resolution intensity image f˜.

Abstract: A heat exchange unit, adapted to performing heat exchange between first and second fluids at different temperatures, comprises a heat exchange apparatus provided with a tube bundle, crossed internally by said first fluid, and containing means of the second fluid, adapted to receiving the exchange apparatus so that at least one portion of the tube bundle is externally surrounded by the second fluid. The exchange apparatus further comprises connection means which are structurally separate from said retainer means and to which one end of the tube bundle is operatively connected.
