Abstract:
A detection device (100) detects an analyte that may be contained in a specimen. The detection device (100) includes a plurality of gold nanoparticles, an optical trapping light source (101), an illumination light source (102), an objective lens (103), an image pick-up device (108), and a computation unit (106). The plurality of gold nanoparticles are each modified with a probe DNA allowing the analyte to specifically adhere thereto.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for examining a sample, the sample being subjected to illumination light and detection light coming from the sample being directed to a detector, and the illumination light being directed through an acousto-optical component with which the sample can be temporarily interrupted from being subjected to illumination light. The method is characterized in that the sample is illuminated by a first illumination light bundle that has a first linear polarization direction and by a second illumination light bundle, the linear polarization direction of which is continuously switched between the first linear polarization direction and a second linear polarization direction that is different from the first linear polarization direction. The illumination light of the first linear polarization direction runs along a first light path and the illumination light of the second linear polarization direction runs along a second light path, and the acousto-optical component unites the light paths.
