Abstract:
A portable appliance for detecting explosive materials has an apparatus for generating and measuring emission of an indicator. The indicator has a carrier and a plurality of indicator substances that can be impinged upon by analytes, said indicator substances being applied onto the carrier as a thin layer and being positionable in an indicator area by means of a holding apparatus. The indicator substances are arranged in different regions of the carrier such that the indicator substances in the indicator area represent a pattern of indicator substances depending on the location. The apparatus has a plurality of radiation sources for emitting quasi-monochromatic excitation radiation. The radiation sources are arranged at various locations in a radiation area such that the radiation area represents a pattern of radiation sources depending on the location. The apparatus has an excitation beam path with at least one first imaging system for imaging excitation radiation into the indicator area such that emission of the indicator substances is producible at the locations at which the excitation radiation is imaged on the indicator area. An emission beam path has at least one second imaging system for imaging the indicator area into a reception area such that a pattern of emissions is producible in the reception area depending on the location. A plurality of receivers receive emissions from the reception area and for converting the received emissions into electrical signals.

Claim (Index 26):
A portable appliance, comprising:\n an apparatus configured to generate and measure emission of an indicator, wherein the indicator has a carrier and a plurality of indicator substances that can be impinged upon by analytes, the indicator substances are applied onto the carrier as a thin layer and are positionable in an indicator area by a holding apparatus, the indicator substances are arranged in different regions of the carrier in such a way that the indicator substances in the indicator area represent a spatial pattern of indicator substances, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of radiation sources each configured to emit quasi-monochromatic excitation radiation, the radiation sources being arranged at various locations in a radiation area such that the radiation area represents a spatial pattern of radiation sources; an excitation beam path comprising a plurality of excitation channels, wherein each excitation channel has a first imaging system that defines an optical axis of the excitation channel and is configured to image excitation radiation into the indicator area such that emission of the indicator substances is producible at the locations at which the excitation radiation is imaged on the indicator area; an emission beam path comprising a common second imaging system for all emissions, said second imaging system defining an optical axis of the emission beam path and being configured to image the indicator area into a reception area such that a spatial pattern of emissions is producible in the reception area, wherein the excitation beam path and the emission beam path are arranged in a backward geometry on one and the same side of the indicator area, the optical axes of the first imaging systems and the optical axis of the second imaging system cross at a distance in front of the indicator area so that points of intersection of the optical axes in the indicator area are laterally spaced apart; a plurality of receivers configured to receive emissions from the reception area and to convert the received emissions into electrical signals, wherein the appliance is configured to detect explosive materials.
