Sample imaging device for high-throughput screening by fluorescence measurements

摘要

An imaging device (10) for biochemical or medical samples, the pulse mode light source (15) of which incorporates flash lamps (27) and a rotating mirror (28) in an inclined position, the said mirror reflecting the light emitted by each flash lamp in turn along the same optical path to the sample (17). The flash lamps (27) are switched on alternately in phases and synchronised with the rotating mirror (28) and the emission light chopper (13), which comprises two rotating discs (13a, 13b). The turning mirror (21) directs the light at the sample (17) from above and/or below, in which case a double-acting transparent scattering plate (20) can be used. <IMAGE>
