AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system and method for acquiring and processing image data in real-time and with high sensitivity. This allows for real-time discussion and collaboration about an experiment, without losing time-resolved data or wasting resources. The system includes a data acquisition application and a data analyzer for calculating time-resolved values of spatially distributed polarization change data. The method involves receiving the data, calculating at least one time-resolved value, and detecting the changes caused by a specimen array. The invention has applications in imaging and optical assembly. Overall, the invention enables the observation and analysis of experiments in real-time, providing a valuable tool for research and development.

Problems solved by technology

Disadvantageously, such endpoint analysis does not allow for monitoring of or collaboration about the process under investigation, thus losing kinetic data, affinity data, and other time-resolved data regarding the process.
Such endpoint analysis also does not allow for modification or early termination of the experiment if an error occurs, thus wasting time and resources.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]The invention generally comprises a method and apparatus for acquiring, processing, and displaying data, and in one embodiment relates to acquiring, processing, and display of data from a two-dimensional arrangement of chemical substances obtained by an imaging technique and apparatus, such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,594,011, the contents of which have been previously incorporated by reference.

[0035]In one embodiment, a polarized light source of known polarization state is directed into an optical assembly, for example a total internal reflection member (TIR member), configured for a reflection at a light reflection surface, for example a total internal reflection surface (TIR surface), and then allowed to exit the optical assembly. In the context of this document, superposition of reflections as encountered at a layered optical structure where the layer thicknesses are smaller than the coherence length of the illuminating light is referred to as a single reflection....

Abstract

Image data is acquired, processed, and / or displayed in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure to display, monitor, and / or demonstrate the progress of an experiment substantially in real-time and with high sensitivity. In one embodiment, at least one time-resolved value of spatially distributed polarization change data is provided and displayed. Advantageously, real-time processing and display of data is provided such that discussion and collaboration about the experiment may occur, time-resolved data is not lost, and resources are not wasted.
