Abstract
An optical detection apparatus and method thereof is provided, which is applicable for detecting the image signals of a labeled sample. First, a laser module provides excitation light, and the excitation light is continuously reflected by a scan module for providing linear scanning light by changing a reflection angle. The carrier moves the light module in a direction nonparallel to the linear direction so as to provide a two-dimensional testing zone. The labeled sample placed in the testing zone is excited by the linear scanning light and generates emission light to be received by the light receiver. Therefore, the light receiver forms the image signals of the labeled sample corresponding to the emission light.
Claims16
An optical detection apparatus for detecting image signals of a labeled sample, comprises:
- at least a laser generator for providing an excitation light and transmitting the excitation light;
- and
- a scan module for continuously reflecting the excitation light and introducing the excitation light to provide a linear scanning light by changing a reflection angle;
- a carrier for carrying the laser generator and the scan module, so that the laser generator and the scan module move together in a direction nonparallel to a linear direction of the linear scanning light so as to provide a two-dimensional testing zone in which the labeled sample is placed and is excited by the linear scanning light to emit an emission light;
- and
- a light receiver for receiving the emission light and forming the image signals of the labeled sample according to the emission light.
