HIGH THROUGHPUT MICROSCOPY

摘要

A system for use in high resolution, high throughput, three-dimensional, fluorescence microscopy includes one or more of the following in operable combination: a circular rotatable disc to present a multiplicity of samples for viewing with an infinity imaging means, a pulsed light source which emits light at intervals consistent with data collection, beam splitters and filters in the emission light pathway which cause the same primary light to be imaged on multiple CCD detectors, means for regulating the temperature of the sample, and means for recognizing patterns and signatures that detect specific features of the components of a sample.
