METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DETECTION WITH FRONT IRRADIATION

摘要

A radiation detection system (100) is described comprising a measurement region (104) in a measurement chamber adapted for receiving at least one sample (108) to be examined and adapted for receiving excitation radiation for impingement on the at least one sample (108) and for generating sample radiation. The radiation detection system (100) furthermore comprises at least one detector element (106) for detection of the generated sample radiation. The radiation detection system thereby is a front irradiation system, i.e. the excitation radiation is incident on a first side of the measurement region (104) in a measurement chamber and the at least one detector element (106) is positioned at a second side of the measurement region (104) in a measurement chamber, the second side being opposite to the first side with respect to the measurement region (104) in a measurement chamber, such that detection occurs at the side facing the first side. The detection system (100) also comprises optical means (112) adapted for guiding said excitation radiation aside the at least one detector element (106).
