Abstract:
A system is capable of detecting substrates and can differentiate between zero, one, or multiple transparent or semi-transparent substrates in a stack. The system can include an optical sensor, an optically anti-reflective element, and a detector. The optical sensor outputs light towards the optically anti-reflective element. The light detector is positioned to detect light from the light source that is reflected by substrates, if any, positioned within a detection zone between the optically anti-reflective element and the detector.

Claim (Index 3):
A coverslip detector for detecting microscope slide coverslips, the coverslip detector comprising:\n a coverslip holder; an anti-reflective optical element positioned along the coverslip holder; a reflectance sensor positioned to output light towards the anti-reflective optical element, the reflectance sensor is positioned to detect the outputted light that has been reflected by any microscope slide coverslips carried by the coverslip holder and positioned between the reflectance sensor and the anti-reflective optical element; and a controller communicatively coupled to the reflectance sensor and including one or more processors and non-transitory, computer readable media with instructions, executable by the one or more processors, to determine if the coverslip holder is carrying more than one microscope slide coverslip based on one or more signals from the reflectance sensor indicative of the detected light.
