Abstract: Some implementations of the disclosure relate to an imaging system including one or more image sensors and a Z-stage. The imaging system is configured to perform operations including: capturing, using the one or more image sensors, a first image of a first pair of spots projected at a first sample location of a sample; determining whether or not the first image of the first pair of spots is valid; and when the first image is determined to be valid: obtaining, based on the first image, a current separation distance measurement of the first pair of spots; and controlling, based at least on the current separation distance measurement, the Z-stage to focus the imaging system at the first sample location.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a flow cell, an imaging assembly, and a processor. The flow cell includes a channel and a plurality of reaction sites. The imaging assembly is operable to receive light emitted from the reaction sites in response to an excitation light. The processor is configured to drive relative movement between at least a portion of the imaging assembly and the flow cell along a continuous range of motion to thereby enable the imaging assembly to capture images along the length of the channel. The processor is also configured to activate the imaging assembly to capture one or more calibration images of one or more calibration regions of the channel, during a first portion of the continuous range of motion. The processor is also configured to activate the imaging assembly to capture images of the reaction sites during a second portion of the continuous range of motion.

Abstract: A power semiconductor package includes: a die carrier having first and second opposite sides; and first and second power semiconductor dies each having first and second power electrodes on opposite sides. The second power electrodes face and are electrically coupled to the first side of the carrier. A molded body at least partially encapsulates the dies and has a first and second opposite sides and lateral sides connecting the first and second sides. First and second power contacts and first and second control contacts are arranged laterally next to each other. The first power electrode of the first die is electrically coupled to the first power contact by a first electrical connector. The first power electrode of the second die is electrically coupled to the second power contact by a second electrical connector. A width of each power contact is at least four times the width of each control contact.
