    摘要: A laser scanner apparatus images and/or measures a fluorescent sample on a moveable table. At least one laser and an optical system provide two laser beams at differing wavelengths parallel to the fluorescent sample. A moveable wedge-shaped dichroic mirror deflects the laser beams through an objective toward the sample causing spatial separation of the focal points and two non-parallel emission beams. The emission beams are guided through an optical system to two detectors.

    摘要: An optical system for exciting and measuring fluorescence of samples has a first laser; a deflection element; a mirror; and an optic fixed in relation to one another. A unit is linearly movable back and forth along the optical axis and is mechanically connected to an oscillating linear drive. The optic acts as a collimator and the mirror acts to deflect the collimated light diametrically opposite to the bundled light of the laser. A table for receiving sample holders for samples; an optical arrangement for imaging a second focal point; an aperture plate in the second focal point; a first spectral filter; and a first detector are parts of the optical system and a focusing beam of the light emitted by the laser and is deflected by the deflection element toward the mirror.

Such a laser scanner comprises a sample table; at least one laser and a first optical system for providing at least one laser beam for exciting the fluorescent samples; a scanner head (50) having an optical deflecting element for scanning this sample in at least one direction of movement (75); a first lens; a second optical system for forwarding emission beams, which are triggered by the laser beams on the sample and are deflected by the first lens and the deflecting element, to at least one detector; a position encoder (91) which emits position encoder signals (92) which indicate the instantaneous location of the scanner head (50) in relation to a zero point; an electronic element for filtering the detector signals (93) with a defined time constant; and an A/D converter for digitizing the filtered detector signals (93). The data acquisition method according to the invention is characterized in that the filtered detector signals (93) from the A/D converter and the position encoder signals (92) are acquired independently, in a parallel manner and continuously by a computer unit or a controller (40) and are related to a common time base (94), wherein the A/D conversion is carried out so often that each pixel (95) of an image is always assigned more than one data point of the A/D converter.
