Abstract
The present invention features incorporating an adaptive spectral filter into a confocal scanner optical arrangement or other suitable optical device to permit real time control of the fluorescence signal spectrum being monitored. This new arrangement would allow for better balancing of the fluorescence signals in the analysis of the array.
Claims20
An optical device or scanner for monitoring fluorescence signals of a device or medium, comprising:
- an adaptive spectral filter with a spatial light modulator to permit real time control of a fluorescence signal spectrum being monitored.
A method comprising one or more steps for permitting real time control of a fluorescence signal spectrum being monitored by an adaptive spectral filter having a spatial light modulator.
An optical arrangement having an optical device or scanner for monitoring fluorescence signals from a device or medium used an assay process, comprising:
- the optical device or scanner includes an adaptive spectral filter to permit real time control of the fluorescence signal spectrum being monitored.
An optical arrangement for monitoring fluorescence signals of an optical device, comprising:
- a digital light processor (DLP) arranged between the array plane and image plane to add a 2D “gain control” element.
