    Abstract: A high-speed fluorescence scanner for scanning a sample at equal angles has most of its optical components, including a light beam source (11), a detector (19), filters (18), lenses (17), and reflectors (15-16), in a fixed position (24), removed from the scan head (22). The lightweight scan head contains a single reflector (13) and lens (12) combination which is reciprocated rapidly along one axis to lengthen and shorten a region of the path of a collimated excitation beam (30) and to form a scan line (25-26) on a sample. The fluorescence emission is gathered by the lens (12) of the scan head and directed back, generally along the optical path of the excitation beam, to a detector. Another embodiment places the light source (43), in miniature form, directly on the scan head. The sample may be translated in an axis orthogonal to the scan line to stimulate fluorescent emission from two-dimensional portion of the sample.

    Abstract: Fluorescence imaging system includes objective (21) which is achromatic and has an external entrance pupil (29), serves as a condenser for the system, and positioned above sample (23) in close proximity to one another. Laser (18) directs collimated light (19) to scan device (20) located at entrance pupil (29). Scan device (20) reflects, refracts, or diffracts light through objective (21) to illuminate a spot (22) on the sample's surface, and illuminates a line or an area on the sample surface by varying the angle of laser light into objective (21). Sample (23) emits fluorescent light (24) in response to the illumination. The fluorescent light (24) is collected by objective (21) and passes through the system along the path of the illumination light. Wavelength-discriminating dichroic filter (25), placed along the optical axis between laser (18) and objective (21), directs fluorescent light (24) onto photodetector (26) to produce a signal representing the sample surface emitting the fluorescent light. Display (37) displays the digitized data in a raster format.
