Optical analysis of particles in suspension in a microchamber
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921028B2) discloses a method and apparatus for performing optical analysis and manipulation of particles in suspension in a fluid within a microchamber. The method involves cooling the fluid to a specific temperature using a cooling device while generating a thermal flow across an optical inspection surface to maintain it at a higher temperature. This allows for optical inspection of the particles while ensuring the fluid remains at the desired temperature. The second sheet of the microchamber, which acts as the optical inspection surface, has a low thermal conductivity to prevent unwanted heating of the fluid during the process.
Furthermore, the apparatus described in the patent includes a thermal flow generator, a cooling device, and an optical inspection device to facilitate the optical analysis of particles in suspension. The cooling device is responsible for maintaining the fluid at a specific temperature, while the thermal flow generator heats and maintains the optical inspection surface at a temperature higher than the condensation temperature of ambient humidity. Additionally, a thermal sensor is incorporated into the apparatus to continuously measure the temperature of the optical inspection surface and provide feedback for adjusting the thermal flow. Overall, the invention aims to enable precise optical analysis of particles in suspension within a controlled temperature environment, ensuring accurate results without affecting the integrity of the fluid or particles being analyzed.
