Abstract:
A sequencing instrument including a sequencing stage and a microscope. The sequencing stage has a reference plate with a flat reference surface. The microscope optical axis is perpendicular to the reference surface. The sequencing stage is configured to receive a flexible film having a plurality of DNA templates immobilized on a first side of the film, and to hold the flexible film against the flat reference surface with at least some of the plurality of DNA templates in an object plane that is perpendicular to the microscope's optical axis.

Claim (Index 9):
The flowcell system of  claim 7 , further comprising one or more air passages operatively associated with the flat reference surface, and one or more air pumps fluidly connected to the one or more air passages and configured to generate a negative pressure on a side of the film, to thereby position the sample-retaining region on the flat reference surface.
