A magnification adjustable projection system includes an imaging system having a first pair of cylindrical lens plates located within an object or image space. The first pair of cylindrical lens plates includes a first cylindrical lens plate axially movable relative to a second cylindrical lens plate. A second pair of cylindrical lens plates is located within the object or image space in optical alignment with the first pair of cylindrical lens plates. The second pair of cylindrical lens plates includes a third cylindrical lens plate axially movable relative to a fourth cylindrical lens plates. First and second actuators adjusts distances between the first and second cylindrical lens plates and between the third and fourth cylindrical lens plates. The first and second pairs of cylindrical lens plates have first and second cylindrical transverse axes that are approximately 45° relative to each other.

Magnification adjustable projection system using movable lens plates

An optical imaging system for cell culture monitoring is provided. The system includes an illumination segment having an illumination source and a collimating lens positioned between a first surface of a cell culture vessel and the illumination source. The illumination source and the collimating lens are arranged to transmit light through the first surface at an angle oblique to the first surface of the cell culture vessel. The system also includes a detection segment having a detector and a lens positioned between the first surface of the cell culture vessel and the detector. The lens focuses light to the detector through an aperture stop, and the detector receives light that exits the first surface of the cell culture vessel at an angle oblique to the first surface.

Compact optical imaging system for cell culture monitoring

A cell monitoring plate comprises a flat surface on which multiple cell culturing vessels may be stacked. The flats surface has multiple optical imaging systems embedded therein to fully image a cell culture vessels stacked on the plate. Each one of the multiple optical imaging systems provides both illumination and imaging through a single aperture in the surface of the monitoring plate.

System and method for imaging and illumination for cell confluence measurement

A Raman spectroscopy system is provided. The spectroscopy system includes an optical switch including a first side having a pump inlet and a return outlet, and a second side having a plurality of pump outlets and a plurality of return inlets. The spectroscopy system includes at least one radiation source optically coupled to the pump inlet and a detector optically coupled to the return outlet. The spectroscopy system further includes a pump filter module optically coupled between the at least one radiation source and the pump outlets and a return filter module optically coupled between the detector and the return inlets. The spectroscopy system further includes a plurality of probes, each probe optically connected to at least one of the plurality of pump outlets by at least one excitation fiber and optically coupled to one of the return inlets by at least one emission fiber.

A laser pulse stretching unit is described herein which is configured to change the reflectivity of one or more beam splitters located therein to change a temporal profile of an output beam without needing to adjust a length of any delay lines. In addition, a method is described herein for using the laser pulse stretching unit to change the reflectivity of one or more beam splitters located therein to change a temporal profile of an output beam without needing to adjust a length of any delay lines.

Variable pulse stretching length by variable beamsplitter reflectivity

A mid infrared spectral band continuous zoom system is described herein that can provide a continuous zoom range with a focal length change greater than 25&#xd7; when thermally imaging a distant object. In addition, a method is described herein for using the mid infrared spectral band continuous zoom system to thermally image the distant object.

Mid infrared spectral band continuous zoom system

An optical element mount has an outer member and an inner member. The inner member has a central axis and is suspended within the outer member by a plurality of fold flexures. Each fold flexure has a fold that lies along a line that intersects the central axis at one common point, where the common point serves as a pivot point for rotational movement of the inner member.
