Optically active substrates
First Claim
1. A device for optical examination of biological material using radiation of a selected wavelength, comprising an optically transparent substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, the first surface comprising a dense array of micro-optical elements being arranged to generate increased intensity radiation near the optical elements, the first surface being in close proximity to the examiner biological material.

Abstract
A device (10) for optical examination of biological materials (68) using radiation of a selected wavelength includes a substrate (50) having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first surface includes a dense array of micro-optical elements (54) arranged to provide increased intensity radiation or evanescent radiation. The first surface is in close proximity to the biological material (68) being examined.

27. A wide field of view, scanning microscope for examination of biological material on a first surface of an optically active substrate comprises a scanning assembly that includes a support structure associated with a driver and constructed to travel in a periodic motion over the substrate in a predetermined path, said scanning structure including an objective lens for delivering light for essentially on-axis scanning and for collecting light from said optically active substrate.
