Claim:
1. A scanning system for fluorescent imaging comprising: a housing; a sample holder disposed within the housing and configured to hold a sample therein, the sample holder defining a sample holding region having a length (L), width (W) and height (H), wherein L and W≧H; a scanner head disposed in the housing and movable relative to the sample holder; an array of light sources disposed above the sample holder, the array of light sources substantially covering the sample holding region; an emission filter interposed between the sample holder and the scanner head; and at least one controller operably coupled to the scanner head and the array of light sources, wherein the at least one controller selectively actuates a subset of light sources of the array of light sources and controls movement of the scanner head to capture fluorescent light emitted from within the sample holder in response to illumination from the subset of light sources.
