  • Publication number: 20240137644
    Abstract: Provided is a method for adjusting objects during photographing. The method includes: displaying a to-be-photographed object in an object preview interface; adjusting a target sub-object in response to an adjustment instruction to the target sub-object of the to-be-photographed object; and displaying position indication information in the object preview interface, wherein the position indication information indicates a position of the adjusted target sub-object in the object preview interface.

  • Publication number: 20130165350
    Abstract: The present invention provide several methods of derivatizing a surface of a support with one or more linkers thus providing a suitable platform for synthesis of a polymer array, particular a nucleic acid array. Some methods derivatize a surface with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of a linker. The SAM confers advantages of hydrolytic stability, broad compatibility with synthesis and detection chemistries, and reduced emergence of latent functional groups during polymer array synthesis. Substrates can also be derivatized with multi-layers of SAMs providing greater hydrolytic stability. Substrates can also be derivatized by synthesizing a linker in situ on the substrate by atom transfer radical polymerization of functional and functional monomers. Appropriate selection of monomers reduces emergence of latent functional groups in subsequent array synthesis.
