Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system capable of solving the problems encountered by spatial non-uniformities. SOLUTION: An apparatus and method for fluorescent detection in biological samples are provided in which non-uniformities in the emitted light due to the optical systems rather than the specimens are corrected by using special optical elements. The apparatus includes a light source (105), illuminating a dichroic beam splitter (110) which reflects excitation light via a first optical element (130) onto a sample region (120) including a tray of samples (122). The emitted light is redirected to a detector (125) through the first optical element (130) and the beam splitter (110). The first optical element (130) collimates and reduces non-uniformities in the emission light. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
