    Abstract: An instrument may include an array of sample wells, a plurality of samples arranged in the array of sample wells, a plurality of light sources, a plurality of detectors, a plurality of lightpipes arranged between the plurality of samples and the plurality of detectors, and a plurality of lightpipes arranges between the plurality of light sources and the plurality of detectors. The samples include a plurality of detectable markers being capable of generating increased emission due to a presence of a target component in the sample. The detectable markers have a respective excitation wavelength range and a respective emission wavelength range. The light sources are capable of emitting a plurality of excitation wavelength ranges toward the plurality of samples to respectively excite the detectable markers. The detectors are capable of detecting an emission wavelength range emitted from the detectable markers.

    Abstract: An apparatus for imaging an array of a plurality of features associated with a sample tile. The apparatus includes a stage that supports the sample tile in an illumination region, and an illumination source having a plurality of LEDs adapted to emit light. At least a portion of the light illuminates the illumination region. Additionally, the apparatus includes an image collecting device adapted to selectively collect images of either a first signal when the illumination source is illuminating the illumination region, or a second signal absent illumination of the illumination region. The first signal has wavelengths effectively different from the wavelengths of the portion of the light emitted by the LEDs that illuminates the illumination region.
