Abstract
An analyte detection package includes a chamber, a surface-enhanced luminescence analyte stage within the chamber, and a tunable lens integrated with the package to focus radiation onto the analyte stage.
Claims18
An analyte detection package, comprising:
- a chamber;
- a surface-enhanced luminescence analyte stage within the chamber;
- a tunable lens integrated with the package to focus radiation generated externally of the package onto the analyte stage;
- a housing to support the lens;
- and
- an actuator to move a portion of the housing supporting the lens to move the lens relative to the analyte stage,
- wherein the portion of the housing supporting the lens forms a portion of a wall of the chamber.
4 more elements
An analyte detection package, comprising:
- a surface-enhanced luminescence analyte stage;
- a lens to focus radiation onto the analyte stage;
- a housing supporting the lens;
- a substrate supporting the analyte stage and the housing;
- and
- an actuator to move the lens relative to the substrate to adjust a focus of the lens,
- wherein the lens extends through an aperture of the housing.
4 more elements
A method of tuning a lens of an analyte detection package, comprising:
- providing an analyte detection package having a chamber and a surface-enhanced luminescence analyte stage within the chamber;
- integrating a lens with the analyte detection package, including supporting the lens with a housing and extending the lens through an aperture of the housing and into an interior of the chamber;
- and
- moving the lens relative to the analyte stage to focus radiation from a radiation source external to the analyte detection package onto the analyte stage.
