Claims16
An optical assembly configured to receive a sample, the assembly comprising a ball lens and a trifurcated fiber adapted for dual optical interrogation and in optical communication with said ball lens, the assembly further including a reagent dispenser, wherein the assembly is configured to detect a light signal while the reagent is being dispensed into the sample.
An optical fiber assembly, comprising a trifurcated fiber comprising a first plurality of emission bundles for receiving light of a first wavelength and second plurality of emission bundles for receiving light of a second wavelength and said first plurality of emission bundles and said second plurality of emission bundles are non-randomly distributed in plurality of excitation bundles.
An optical assembly, comprising a ball lens and a trifurcated fiber adapted for dual optical interrogation and in optical communication with said ball, wherein said trifurcated fiber comprises a first set of bundles for transmitting light of a first wavelength and second set of bundles for transmitting light of a second wavelength and third set of bundles for transmitting light of a third wavelength.
