Method of extracting locations of nucleic acid array features |
August 12, 2008 |
| Methods for correcting systematic errors in the measured position of deposited features of a nucleic acid array on a substrate. Systematic errors are modeled by an algorithmic model based on measuring the positions (and possibly other properties) of a subset of the features, and a mo |

Method and apparatus for dynamic focus control with error rejection |
November 19, 2002 |
| An inner control loop controls the relative position of a surface to be scanned with respect to a focal plane. An outer control loop responds to the location of the surface to be scanned with respect to a focal plane of the scan lens to generate a setpoint for the inner control loop. A |
