Abstract: A light modulated electron source utilizes a photon-beam source to modulate the emission current of an electron beam emitted from a silicon-based field emitter. The field emitter's cathode includes a protrusion fabricated on a silicon substrate and having an emission tip covered by a coating layer. An extractor generates an electric field that attracts free electrons toward the emission tip for emission as part of the electron beam. The photon-beam source generates a photon beam including photons having an energy greater than the bandgap of silicon, and includes optics that direct the photon beam onto the emission tip, whereby each absorbed photon creates a photo-electron that combines with the free electrons to enhance the electron beam's emission current. A controller modulates the emission current by controlling the intensity of the photon beam applied to the emission tip. A monitor measures the electron beam and provides feedback to the controller.

Abstract: Systems and methods relate to processing digital pathology images. More specifically, depictions of objects of a first class (e.g., lymphocytes) and depictions of objects of a second class (e.g., tumor cells) are detected. Locations of each biological object depiction are identified, which are used to generate multiple spatial-distribution metrics that characterize where depictions of objects of a first class are located relative to objects of a second class. The spatial-distribution metrics are used to generate a result corresponding to a predicted biological state of or a potential treatment of a subject. For example, the result may predict whether and/or an extent to which lymphocytes have infiltrated a tumor, whether checkpoint blockade therapy would be an effective treatment for the subject, and/or whether a subject is eligible for a clinical trial.
