| 摘要 |
An article including a multi-well plate that has an infrared radiation ("IR") reflective coating disposed over the surface of the wells. In some embodiments, the wells have a parabolic or near parabolic shape. In additional embodiments, the wells, which have a parabolic or near parabolic shape, are truncated at or near a focal plane of the well. In some further embodiments, the wells have a hemispheric shape or a truncated hemispheric shape. IR imaging systems that incorporate the multi-well plates described herein exhibit improved sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. |
