Efficient Spectral Matching, Particularly For Multicomponent Spectra

View page
US Patent:
7698098, Apr 13, 2010
Filed:
Feb 18, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/032794
Inventors:
Gary L. Ritter - Madison WI, US
William J. McCarthy - Madison WI, US
Kathleen A. Larson - Madison WI, US
Alexander I. Grenov - Madison WI, US
Federico Izzia - Madison WI, US
Assignee:
Thermo Electron Scientific Instruments LLC - Madison WI
International Classification:
G06F 15/00
US Classification:
702179, 702189, 250282, 250307, 250310, 356402
Abstract:
An unknown spectrum obtained from infrared or other spectroscopy can be compared to spectra in a reference library to find the best matches. The best match spectra can then each in turn be combined with the reference spectra, with the combinations also being screened for best matches versus the unknown spectrum. These resulting best matches can then also undergo the foregoing combination and comparison steps. The process can repeat in this manner until an appropriate stopping point is reached, for example, when a desired number of best matches are identified, when some predetermined number of iterations has been performed, etc. This methodology is able to return best-match spectra (and combinations of spectra) with far fewer computational steps and greater speed than if all possible combinations of reference spectra are considered.

Correction Of Chemical Image Collected Using Atr Through Germanium Hemisphere

View page
US Patent:
8521491, Aug 27, 2013
Filed:
Apr 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/084261
Inventors:
Francis J. Deck - Madison WI, US
Koichi Nishikida - Fitchburg WI, US
Federico Izzia - Middleton WI, US
Assignee:
Thermo Electron Scientific Instruments LLC - Madison WI
International Classification:
G06G 7/48
US Classification:
703 6, 703 2
Abstract:
A method and corresponding apparatus provide correction of chemical images collected with a germanium hemisphere ATR microscope. A model is developed for rays passing through a simulated germanium (Ge) hemisphere attenuated total reflection (ATR) microscope. The model determines a data set for rays reaching the detector plane. Movement of the hemisphere is simulated along a first axis between each data set determination. A calculated background spectrum is produced by multiplying the percentage of rays by a background spectrum to produce a calculated background spectrum. A real Ge hemisphere ATR microscope having parameters that substantially match those of the simulated Ge hemisphere microscope is then used to collect a chemical image of a sample that is in contact with the Ge hemisphere. The collected image is then corrected to produce a corrected chemical image.

Spectrometer With Built-In Atr And Accessory Compartment

View page
US Patent:
8547555, Oct 1, 2013
Filed:
Apr 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/458000
Inventors:
Michael S. Bradley - Edgerton WI, US
Federico Izzia - Middleton WI, US
John M. Coffin - Blue Mounds WI, US
Assignee:
Thermo Electron Scientific Instruments LLC - Madison WI
International Classification:
G01N 21/55
US Classification:
356445
Abstract:
The present application is directed to a novel spectrometer configured with a built-in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) and accessory compartment. In particular, an arranged sample analysis compartment provided by the spectrometer performs attenuated total reflectance analysis of a sample and includes a crystal, a tip configured to press the sample against the crystal, and a detector configured to detect light after reflection within the crystal. As part of the configuration, an actuator moves an optical element between a first position wherein the optical element receives modulated light and reflects the modulated light toward the crystal and a second position wherein the optical element does not receive the modulated light so as to instead allow an additionally configured optical component to receive the modulated light.

Spectroscopic Microscopy With Image-Driven Analysis

View page
US Patent:
20080049220, Feb 28, 2008
Filed:
Aug 28, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/846499
Inventors:
Federico Izzia - Middleton WI, US
Kathleen J. Schulting - Oregon WI, US
Alexander Grenov - Madison WI, US
International Classification:
G01J 3/00
US Classification:
356300
Abstract:
In a spectroscopic microscope, a video image of a specimen is analyzed to identify regions having different appearances, and thus presumptively different properties. The sizes and locations of the identified regions are then used to position the specimen to align each region with an aperture, and to set the aperture to a size appropriate for collecting a spectrum from the region in question. The spectra can then be analyzed to identify the substances present within each region of the specimen. Information on the identified substances can then be presented to the user along with the image of the specimen.

Macro Area Camera For An Infrared (Ir) Microscope

View page
US Patent:
20120306998, Dec 6, 2012
Filed:
Jun 1, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/150847
Inventors:
Dennis E. Merrill II - Littleton MA, US
Federico Izzia - Middleton WI, US
International Classification:
H04N 7/00
US Classification:
348 36
Abstract:
A novel arrangement of Schwarzschild Cassegrainian objective coupled with a far-field visible imaging system that does not interfere with the interrogating (IR) beam is introduced. Typical (IR) microscopes that incorporate a Cassegrainian objective have difficulty in locating desired target sample regions based on the inherent limited field-of-view. Because commonly applied visible imaging accessories upstream must use the same numerical aperture based on the reflective geometry, such systems also suffer a limited field of view. To overcome such difficulties, the novel embodiments herein involve placing a visible camera with its optical axis collinear with the IR and primary visible beampath of the microscope but outside the optical path that provides the (IR) image magnification.

Emission And Transmission Optical Spectrometer

View page
US Patent:
20130063714, Mar 14, 2013
Filed:
Sep 10, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/609028
Inventors:
Federico IZZIA - Middleton WI, US
Michael S. BRADLEY - Edgerton WI, US
International Classification:
G01J 3/443
G01J 3/44
US Classification:
356 51
Abstract:
A novel emission and transmission optical spectrometer is introduced herein, which is capable of optically interrogating solid or liquid samples of organic, inorganic or polymeric chemistry, for pharmaceutical research, forensic and liquid analyses, used for identification, purity check, and/or structural study of chemicals. The beneficial aspects of the system are a single sample compartment as confined within the walls of the spectrometer housing, a more compact accessory, and the capability of making both emission (e.g., Raman and Fluorescence) and Infrared (IR, NIR) transmission measurements at designed sample points.

System And Method To Minimize Nonrandom Fixed Pattern Noise In Spectrometers

View page
US Patent:
20160290864, Oct 6, 2016
Filed:
Jan 22, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/003891
Inventors:
- Wilmington MA, US
Jason Booth - Boxford MA, US
Claude Robotham - North Reading MA, US
Federico Izzia - Burlington MA, US
International Classification:
G01J 3/02
Abstract:
This invention relates to a system and method to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of optical spectrometers that are limited by nonrandom or fixed pattern noise. A signal from a sample is collected using a short test exposure, a total observation time to maximize SNR is calculated, and the total observation time is achieved by averaging multiple exposures whose time is selected based on the time dependent noise structure of the detector. Moreover, with a priori knowledge of the time dependent noise structure of the spectrometer, this method is easily automatable and can maximize SNR for a spectrum of an unknown compound without any user input.
