| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7650327 | Managing taxonomic information In a management of taxonomic information, a name that specifies an organism is identified. Based on the name and a database of organism names or classifications, another name that specifies the organism and that represents a link between pieces of biological identif... | 01/19/2010 |
| 7372567 | Retardance measurement system and method In an apparatus and method for measuring parameters related to retardance and slow axis azimuth in sample specimens, a sample is illuminated by circularly polarized monochromatic light which is then analyzed by an elliptical analyzer at different settings. In anothe... | 05/13/2008 |
| 7239388 | Retardance measurement system and method In an apparatus and method for measuring retardance and slow axis azimuth in sample specimens, a sample is illuminated by circularly polarized monochromatic light which is then analyzed by an elliptical analyzer at different settings. In another embodiment, light co... | 07/03/2007 |
| 7233434 | Orientation independent differential interference contrast microscopy technique and device A method for performing differential interference contrast microscopy on a specimen includes collecting at least two images with illumination respectively having first and second beam-shear directions relative to a rotational orientation of the specimen, determining... | 06/19/2007 |
| 7202950 | Retardance measurement system and method In an apparatus and method for measuring retardance and slow axis azimuth in sample specimens, a sample is illuminated by circularly polarized monochromatic light which is then analyzed by an elliptical analyzer at different settings.

| 7079247 | Instantaneous polarization measurement system and method The invention provides a highly sensitive measurement of retardance and slow axis orientation, accurately and instantaneously, across a full two-dimensional image. There are no moving parts and there need not be any electro-optic tuning as part of the measurement. I... | 07/18/2006 |
| 6924893 | Enhancing polarized light microscopy A microscope system for determining optical properties of a specimen includes a source of polarized light, a detector for detecting the intensity of light incident thereon, an optical path extending from the source to the detector, a condenser for providing light fr... | 08/02/2005 |
| 6802957 | Self-referencing enzyme-based microsensor and method of use A micron-scale self-referencing microsensor is disclosed which uses an enzyme-based electrode to measure the flux of an electrochemically inactive analyte such as glucose. The electrode oscillates between at least two positions. In the presence of the analyte, the e... | 10/12/2004 |
| 6078681 | Analytical imaging system and process An image system captures and records optical and photon images of an activity, such as cellular phenomena. The images are simultaneously recorded on videotape and displayed. Image data is processed and stored for later analysis and for comparison to new d... | 06/20/2000 |
