Optical array system and reader for micro titer plates

摘要

The optical system has a lens array (21-23) and a field lens (5) to project an array (11-13) of objects on a detector array (61-63). A telescope lens (41,42) is between the lens array (21-23) and the field lens (5) and between the field lens and the detector array (61-63). An array of micro-lenses is in front of the detector array (6). An illuminating light system can be integrated into the optical system. A diaphragm aperture array (3) is between the lens array (21-23) and the field lens (5). The objects are shown as a filled microtitration plate (1) containing the samples under study or a substance chip. The system is a reader for micro-titration plates with absorption, fluorescence including fluorescent correlation spectroscopy or luminescence. An Independent claim is included for a spectrophotometer.
