IMPROVEMENTS IN AND RELATING TO LIGHT TRANSFER SYSTEMS AND IMPROVED CELL INVESTIGATION TECHNIQUES ARISING THEREFROM

摘要

An apparatus allows easier to detect extremely low levels of light typically emitted by extremely small regions, such as single cells into single layers of culture, by means of a detector such as a CCD detector or an intensifier picture. The light sensor element is a fiber optic faceplate located between the light emitting material and the detector, without coming into contact with the light emitting material. When the latter is located on a surface such as a petri dish, the front plate is arranged between the box and the detector, with at least one air gap between the front plate and the detector.
