Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a sample holder for a multi-detector quantitative microscopy system. In one example, the sample holder includes a frame with a central opening, a pivotable arm positioned adjacent to the central opening and having a whippletree assembly at a first end of the pivotable arm, and a movable ram, in contact with a second end of the pivotable arm, the movable ram configured to pivot the pivotable arm.
Claims20
A sample holder for a multi-detector quantitative microscopy system, comprising:
- a frame with a central opening;
- a pivotable arm positioned adjacent to the central opening and having a whippletree assembly at a first end of the pivotable arm;
- and
- a movable ram, in contact with a second end of the pivotable arm, the movable ram configured to pivot the pivotable arm.
1 more element
An imaging system, comprising:
- a plate holder positioned above a set of objectives of the imaging system, the plate holder configured to hold a microplate in place based on engagement of the microplate by a whippletree assembly of the plate holder.
A multi-detector microscopy system, comprising:
- a plurality of blades arranged in an x-shaped configuration, the plurality of blades supporting components of a microscope assembly including objectives aligned with inner edges of the plurality of blades and protruding above top edges of the plurality of blades and through openings in a housing surrounding the plurality of blades;
- and
- a holder coupled to the housing above the objectives, the holder configured to secure a microplate by compressing the microplate at a corner of the microplate along a horizontal plane via two contact balls.
