CONFOCAL FLUORESCENCE SLIDE SCANNER WITH PARALLEL DETECTION

摘要

An instrument and method for scanning a large specimen supported on a specimen holder has a plurality of illumination sources with each illumination, source being focused on a different focus spot of the specimen simultaneously. There are a plurality of spectrally resolved detectors to receive light reflected or emitted from the different focus spots simultaneously with each spectrally resolved detector receiving light from one illumination source only.
