MUMBAI, India, Aug. 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202647099590 A) filed by Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Zur on August 18, 2026, for Method Of Determining An Arrangement Of A Number Of Point Sources.
Inventors include Hell, Stefan W.; Hensel, Thomas Arne; and Wirth, Otto.
The application for the patent was published on August 28, 2026, under issue no. 35/2026.
Abstract: In a method of determining an arrangement of point sources in a sample the point sources are scanned (3) with a probe signal comprising a probe signal intensity. A spatial intensity distribution of the probe signal intensity has a local probe signal intensity minimum that is, in at least one spatial direction, delimited on both sides by probe signal intensity maxima. The local probe signal intensity minimum is positioned at different probe signal minimum positions at distances in the at least one spatial direction. A measurement intensity of a measurement signal coming from the point sources is registered (4) for each of the different probe signal minimum positions. The measurement intensity depends on the probe signal intensity at point source positions of the point sources. The point sources are limited (2) both to a point source number of at least 2, and to such a small spatial area of the sample that a spatial course of the registered measurement intensities over the different probe signal minimum positions has one local measurement signal minimum only. The arrangement of the point sources is determined (5) from the spatial course of the registered measurement intensities over the different probe signal minimum positions utilizing previous knowledge of the arrangement of the point sources.
