An interposer for a flow cell comprises a base layer having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The base layer comprises black polyethylene terephthalate (PET). A first adhesive layer is disposed on the first surface of the base layer. The first adhesive layer comprises methyl acrylic adhesive. A second adhesive layer is disposed on the second surface of the base layer. The second adhesive layer comprises methyl acrylic adhesive. A plurality of microfluidic channels extends through each of the base layer, the first adhesive layer, and the second adhesive layer.

Interposer with first and second adhesive layers

An imprinting apparatus includes a silicon master and an anti-stick layer coating the silicon master. The silicon master includes a plurality of features positioned at an average pitch of less than about 425 nm, each of the plurality of features comprises a depression having an opening with its largest opening dimension being less than about 300 nm. The anti-stick layer includes a crosslinked silane polymer network.

Imprinting apparatus

An inspection apparatus is provided that comprises an optical target including a solid host material and a fluorescing material embedded in the solid host material. The solid host material has a predetermined phonon energy HOST. The fluorescing material exhibits a select ground energy level and a target excitation (TE) energy level separated from the ground energy level by a first energy gap corresponding to a fluorescence emission wavelength of interest. The fluorescing material has a next lower lying (NLL) energy level relative to the TE energy level. The NLL energy level is spaced a second energy gap FMbelow the TE energy level, wherein a ratio of the FM/HOSTis three or more.
