Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for a spatially resolved and wavelength-resolved detection of light radiation emitted from at least one OLED or LED. A multilayer system is arranged between an electrode, an OLED or an LED, and a substrate and is formed using layers formed alternately above one another from a material having higher and lower optical refractive indices n. In this respect, light radiation from the at least one OLED or LED and having a plurality of different wavelengths ?1, ?2, ?3, . . . ?n thus exits the multilayer system. Light radiation that exits at different wavelengths ?1, ?2, ?3, . . . ?n at different angles is incident onto at least one detector array after at least a simple refraction at an optical element or after reflection at a layer or at a layer system of a sensor such that light radiation at a wavelength ?1, ?2, ?3, . . . or ?n is incident onto a respective detector element of the detector array.

Abstract: A method for examining an attachment or detachment of living cells, dead cells or cell-like particles on a surface using plasmon resonance includes irradiating a measurement region with beams over the entire angle of incidence spectrum and capturing, combining and evaluating beams with identical angles of incidence reflected from different points of the measurement region with a determination of the angle of light incidence with a lowest reflected light intensity and measuring an angle of incidence shift of an intensity minimum that occurs. The evaluating includes registering different angles of incidence of two or more intensity minima occurring simultaneously to reflect a respective level of the surface accumulations.

Abstract: The plasmon resonance sensor (1) comprises a chip (2) of transparent plastic with a gold layer (3) made up of narrow part surfaces (4), arranged in a row, on the inner side of which light from a planar light source (12) is convergently guided. A Fourier lens (24) integrated in the chip (2) forms the reflected angular spectrum on the detector (23), arranged at a focal separation (F) from the integrated Fourier lens (24) for temporal determination of the incident angle with a resonant intensity minimum of reflected light. An incident lens (13) brings about imaging of the planar light source (12) in the form of lines of light on the part surfaces (4), which are further imaged in the form of lines of light on the detector (23).

Abstract: The invention relates to the examination of the attachment or detachment of living or dead cells, or cell-like particles, or other surface accumulations on surfaces, by means of plasmon resonance. The reflected light is evaluated such that two or more intensity minima of the reflected light occurring within a time frame are registered in a time dependant manner for different incident angles. The registered measurement signals reflect the respective amount of the surface accumulation. In case two intensity minima have occurred at the same time, valuable information about particular processes regarding the surface accumulation, for example regarding the adhesion of cells, can be obtained. Said information is of particular importance in the field of medicine/biology.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for carrying out biochemical fluorescence tests by means of which the different biochemical interactions can be detected. With the aid of the invention it shall be allowed for a very large number of individual samples to be detected low costly and with a high sensitivity, and in addition it shall be achieved a high spatial resolution. According to the invention this object is solved with a device by means of which linearly polarized light of a laser diode is directed upon a plate-shaped carrier through an optical arrangement comprising at least one polarization beam splitter, a quarter-wave plate and a focussing optical element. In addition to binary, optically detectable information structures a plurality of fluorophore-marked samples is discretely arranged as well on the carrier rotating about an axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor element for optically detecting chemical or biochemical analytes which may be contained in different samples. The object is to minimize the required sample volume and to allow the individual samples to be arranged relatively close together, while nevertheless achieving a high measurement accuracy. At least one interface, at which an evanescent field is formed as a result of total reflection, is formed on the sensor element. The samples are held in mutually separated cavities, and the cavities are formed inside a structured cover layer applied directly to a substrate. In this case, the layer thickness of the cover layer is at least greater than the penetration depth of the evanescent field. The cover layer consists of a fluorinated polymer, and it prevents substance exchange of the individual samples that are held in the various cavities.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for the detection of biochemical or chemical substances using fluorescent light excitation, and to a process for its production, which can be used in a variety of fields, for example in biotechnology, in molecular medicine, in pharmaceuticals development and for the analysis or various chemical substances. A relatively simple structure is intended to provide the invention with the possibility of being able to carry out the detection of a large number of samples in a very short time with a high degree of accuracy. To that end, a laminar substrate is formed with a locally defined structure in order to detect different samples. Advantageously, on the detector side, a lens array designed according to the structuring can be used to project the fluorescent light from the different samples on to a detector array. It is, however, also possible to place a detector array matched to the structuring of the substrate on the substrate, or arrange it there.

Abstract: The invention relates to a surface plasmon resonance sensor for the simultaneous measurement of a plurality of samples present in fluid form. The aim of the invention is to provide such a sensor which can be arranged into a defined array and where the surface plasmon resonance sensors can be produced using technology which is simpler and more economical than those produced according to the prior art. To this end several strip-like optical wave guides (2) are arranged on a planar support (1) at a defined distance to each other in such a way that their front faces (21, 22) are flush with opposite sides (11, 12) of the planar support (1). Each strip-like optical wave guide (2) in a section which is to be brought into contact with the fluid samples has at least one thin metal layer (3) which permits the excitation of surface plasmons.
