APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FLUORESCENT DETECTION IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES

Apparatus and method for fluorescent detection in biological samples in which non-uniformities in the emitted light due to the optical system rather than the specimens is corrected for by using specific optical elements. The apparatus comprises a source (105), illuminating a dichroic beam splitter (...

Zusammenfassung:Apparatus and method for fluorescent detection in biological samples in which non-uniformities in the emitted light due to the optical system rather than the specimens is corrected for by using specific optical elements. The apparatus comprises a source (105), illuminating a dichroic beam splitter (110) which reflects excitation light via a first optical element (130) onto a sample region (120) comprising a tray of samples (122). The emitted light is redirected through the first optical element (130) and beam splitter (110) to a detector (125). The first optical element (130) collimates and reduces non-uniformities in the emission light.
