Abstract:
An apparatus for analyzing a plurality of samples, comprising:a first plurality of light emitting devices which are each controlled to radiate a first excitation light toward one sample of the plurality of samples at different first excitation times to excite a first probe contained in each of the plurality of samples to generate a first emission light at first emission times corresponding to said different first excitation times; a first light detector which is controlled to detect said first emission light emitted from said first probe at said first emission times; a second plurality of light emitting devices which are each controlled to radiate a second excitation light toward one sample of the plurality of samples at different second excitation times to excite a second probe contained in each of the plurality of samples to generate a second emission light at second emission times corresponding to said different second excitation times; and a second light detector which is controlled to detect the second emission light emitted from said second probe at said second emission times.
