Method of scanning and light collection for a rare cell detector |
摘要 |
An apparatus images a surface. An imager stage has a planar surface for supporting a sample. A fiber optic bundle has a first end of parallel first fiber ends that are arranged to define an input aperture for viewing the sample on the imager stage. A distal bundle end is arranged to define an output aperture disposed away from the imager stage. A scanning radiation source scans a radiation beam along a path that is perpendicular to the sample on the imager stage. The input aperture of the fiber optic bundle receives a light signal that is produced by the radiation source scan of the imager stage sample. The light signal is transmitted to the bundle output aperture. A photodetector detects the light signal at the distal bundle end, and a processor processes the detected light.
