Abstract:
Devices and methods are disclosed for the substantially uniform epi-illumination of samples such as western blots using high power lasers. The uniformity of illumination is provided by particular configurations of optical diffusers, spatial or temporal laser modalities, or numbers of lasers. The increased excitation light produced by the high power lasers can enhance fluorescence emission signal strength and reduce required imaging exposure times.

Claim (Index 3):
The epi-illuminator of  claim 1 , wherein the optical diffuser is a ground glass diffuser or an engineered microlens array.
