| 20100264295 | BEAM SHAPER, OPTICAL SYSTEM AND METHODS USING THE SAME - An optical beam shaper comprises a polarization-dependent phase adjustment member which applies a phase pattern of equal magnitude and opposite sign to two orthogonal polarization states. In a preferred embodiment the beamer shaper is a dif tractive element made of a birefringent material, such as a photo-polymerizable liquid crystal polymer frozen in a uniaxial alignment, said dif tractive element comprising a plurality of zones, each zone having a stepped thickness defining a plurality of steps. The beam shaper can be used to introduce astigmatism to a polarized light beam or to undo the astigmatism to a beam with an orthogonal polarization state. The beam shaper is advantageously used within a detection device, such as a fluorescence scanner. | 10-21-2010 |

| 20100320397 | MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM BASED ON EVANESCENT ILLUMINATION AND FLUORESCENCE - An illumination detection system comprises an excitation radiation source and associated radiation processing arrangement, and a focusing arrangement for focusing the excitation radiation from the radiation processing arrangement onto an analysis region of a sample. A radiation collection arrangement collects radiation from the analysis region of the sample resulting from the excitation, and a detector detects the collected radiation. The focused excitation radiation comprises an excitation line which is evanescent in the sample. This combines the advantages of line scanning (reduced analysis time) and evanescent excitation (reduced background signal) and therewith enables increased measurement speed and precision for point of care application. | 12-23-2010 |
