Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical system includes a radiation source, a radiation-illuminating device, and a radiation-collecting device. The radiation source is configured to generate radiation. The radiation-illuminating device is optically coupled to the radiation source and configured to direct and focus the radiation obliquely with respect to an optical axis thereof onto a sample. The radiation-collecting device is configured to collect back-scattered radiation scattered from the sample and spatially separated from noise radiation. Associated apparatus and method are also described.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An optical system, comprising: a radiation source configured to generate radiation transmitted forwardly; a radiation-illuminating device optically coupled to the radiation source and configured to direct and focus the radiation obliquely with respect to an optical axis thereof onto a sample in a flow cell of a chip; and a radiation-collecting device configured to collect back-scattered radiation scattered from the sample and spatially separated fr…
