A microscope objective is disclosed comprising; a lens; a housing; a lens holder that is arranged to couple the lens to the housing; a first conductor and a second conductor, the first conductor and the second conductor extending along a sidewall of the housing, the first conductor and the second conductor being arranged to form at least one loop that is that is disposed about at least a portion of a perimeter of a field of view of the lens.

Combined microscope objective and microwave wire for optically detected magnetic resonance imaging

A method of locating a substrate within a field of view of an imaging system includes acquiring an image of a first marker on a substrate in the field of view. The first marker has a first spatial pattern representing a position of the first marker relative to the substrate. The method also includes determining possible positions of the substrate based on the first spatial pattern and moving the substrate relative to the field of view based on the possible positions of the substrate. The method also includes acquiring an image of a second marker on the substrate in the field of view. The second marker has a second pattern representing a position of the second marker relative to the substrate. The method further includes determining the position of the substrate relative to the field of view based on the position of the second marker on the substrate.

Systems and methods for automated microscopy

A thermoelectric (TE) device includes a first leg of TE material (a pseudobinary or pseudoternary alloy) and a second leg comprising a metal wire. The second leg is in thermal and electrical communication with the first leg. The TE device has a ZT value of approximately 2.0 at a temperature of approximately 300K.

Self-assembled quantum dot superlattice thermoelectric materials and devices

Quantum-dot superlattice (QLSL) structures having improved thermoelectric properties are described. In one embodiment, PbSe Te /PbTe QDSLs are provided having enhanced values of Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) relative to bulk values. The structures can be combined into multi-chip devices to provide additional thermoelectric performance.

Nanostructured thermoelectric materials and devices

A superlattice structure for thermoelectric power generation includes m monolayers of a first barrier material alternating with n monolayers of a second quantum well material with a pair of monolayers defining a superlattice period and each of the materials having a relatively smooth interface therebetween. Each of the quantum well layers have a thickness which is less than the thickness of the barrier layer by an amount which causes substantial confinement of conduction carriers to the quantum well layer and the alternating layers provide a superlattice structure having a figure of merit which increases with increasing temperature.

Superlattice structures for use in thermoelectric devices

Quantum-dot superlattice (QLSL) structures having improved thermoelectric properties are described. In one embodiment, PbSe Te /PbTe QDSLs are provided having enhanced values of Seebeck coefficient and thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) relative to bulk values.

Quantum dot thermoelectric materials and devices

A system for monitoring information about debt securities and reporting trades in the debt securities market. The system includes user stations and a host processor. Users input data requests and trade information to the user stations which transmit the requests and trade information to the host processor. The host processor processes information about the trades and requests for information using databases which contain various types of information about the debt securities and users. The host processor transmits processed trade information and requested information to the user stations which present the information to the users.
