5.1

Fluorescence spectrometer

A 16-channel Epi fluorescence photometer with fiber -multiplexer and mechanical scan-
ning device is used as detector.
Light for exciting the dyes is emitted by four-color LED in blue, green, white and red.
The light is passed through optic fibers to collimator lenses, bundled and then trans-
ferred to the excitation filter of the color modules fitted to a rotating filter wheel. The light
is deflected via a beam divider and passed through additional optic fibers to a lens array
in a shuttle system scanning the sample block in columns. The light excites the fluores-
cence dyes in the reaction mix.
