Abstract
An assembly, in particular for use in a confocal laser scanning apparatus, comprising a light-sensitive detector (1) and a device (2) for focusing and/or geometrically constraining light onto a detection path (3), is disclosed in response to the problem of specifying an assembly having a detector, which assembly can generate images as quickly as possible at high light sensitivity, characterised in that a device (4) is provided in the detection path (3) and spectrally splits the light, wherein at least one optical component (5) is provided, which directs the spectrally split light onto a detection row (6) of the detector (1), the detection row (6) having fields (6i) onto each of which light of different wavelengths is incident.
Claims17
An assembly, in particular for use in a confocal laser scanning device, comprising a light-sensitive detector and an apparatus for focusing and/or geometrically delimiting light on a detection path,
- wherein
- an apparatus is provided in the detection path, which spectrally splits the light, wherein at least one optical component, which guides the spectrally split light onto a detection line of the detector, is provided, and wherein the detection line has fields, on each of which light having different wavelengths is incident.
14-16. (canceled)
A method for carrying out oximetry to acquire oxygen in human or animal blood, the method comprising:
- providing an assembly comprising a light-sensitive detector (1) and an apparatus (2) for focusing and/or geometrically delimiting light on a detection path (3), wherein an apparatus (4) is provided in the detection path (3), which spectrally splits the light, wherein at least one optical component (5), which guides the spectrally split light onto a detection line (6) of the detector (1), is provided, and wherein the detection line (6) has fields (6i), on each of which light having different wavelengths is incident;
- and using the assembly to acquire oxygen in human or animal blood.
A method for carrying out a spectrally resolved autofluorescence analysis to identify substances and/or to acquire structures in human or animal tissue, the method comprising:
- providing an assembly comprising a light-sensitive detector (1) and an apparatus (2) for focusing and/or geometrically delimiting light on a detection path (3), wherein an apparatus (4) is provided in the detection path (3), which spectrally splits the light, wherein at least one optical component (5), which guides the spectrally split light onto a detection line (6) of the detector (1), is provided, and wherein the detection line (6) has fields (6i), on each of which light having different wavelengths is incident;
- and using the assembly to identify substances and/or to acquire structures in human or animal tissue by carrying out a spectrally resolved autofluorescence analysis.
A method for using an assembly in a fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscope (FLIO), the method comprising:
- providing the assembly comprising a light-sensitive detector (1) and an apparatus (2) for focusing and/or geometrically delimiting light on a detection path (3), wherein an apparatus (4) is provided in the detection path (3), which spectrally splits the light, wherein at least one optical component (5), which guides the spectrally split light onto a detection line (6) of the detector (1), is provided, and wherein the detection line (6) has fields (6i), on each of which light having different wavelengths is incident;
- and using the assembly in the fluorescence lifetime imaging ophthalmoscope (FLIO).
