Abstract: A photo-emissive film is provided. The photo-emissive film is formed from a luminescent layer that is substantially transparent to at least one excitation wavelength and at least one emission wavelength. The luminescent layer has a first refractive index. A plurality of lenslets is at least partially embedded in the luminescent layer of the photo-emissive film in a substantially single plane. The plurality of lenslets has a second refractive index. The focal point of the plurality of lenslets is external to the plurality of lenslets and within the luminescent layer. The luminescent layer is formed from a polymer, a crystalline material, a glass, or mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A system includes a first source including a first reactant; a second source including a second reactant capable of reacting with the first reactant to form a first product; and a reactor. The reactor includes a first element having a wall connecting a first point and a second point, the wall extending more than 180° around the first point; and a second element movably engaged with the first element to define a reconfigurable reaction chamber capable of being in fluid communication with the first and second reactants.

Abstract: The systems and methods of the invention utilize time-resolved techniques to deconvolve a measured response to characterize the nature of particles. The measured response is deconvolved into a scatter component and a fluorescence component. The fluorescence component is further characterized into biological and non-biological components. Probability techniques are utilized to predict whether the particles are biological or non-biological.
