Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A High-resolution Image Acquisition and Processing Instrument (HIAPI) performs at least five simultaneous measurements in a noninvasive fashion, namely: (a) determining the volume of a liquid sample in wells (or microtubes) containing liquid sample, (b) detection of precipitate, objects of artifacts within microliter plate wells, (c) classification of colored samples in microliter plate wells or microtubes; (dl determination of contaminant (e.g. wafer concentration}; (e) air bubbles; (f) problems with the actual plate. Remediation of contaminant is also possible.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a full-spectrum, ultraviolet, visible, infrared or near infra red light source for irradiating a consumable or consumable comprising a sample; at least one lens in optical alignment with light reflected, transmitted through or emitted from the sample; at least one sensor for detecting reflected light from the sample or light transmitted through the sample; a computer or processor running software for processing and analyzing the ref…
