Claim Text:
1. A system for characterizing a biological sample by analyzing emission of fluorescent light from the biological sample upon excitation comprising: (i) a laser source connected to a biological sample via excitation fibers (ExF), wherein the laser source is configured to radiate the biological sample with a laser pulse at a predetermined wavelength to cause the biological sample to produce a responsive fluorescence signal; (ii) collection fibers (CF), wherein the CF collect the fluorescence signal from the biological sample, and relays the fluorescence signal to a demultiplexer; (iii) a demultiplexer configured to split the fluorescence signal from the CF at pre-determined wavelengths to obtain spectral bands of <365 nm , 365-410 nm, 410- 450 nm, 450-500 nm, 500-560 nm, 560-600 nm and >600 nm, (iv) an optical delay device.
