Array Based Design of Multi-Wavelength Fluorescence System

Abstract

A method for exciting and collecting fluorescence from a surface using multiple excitations and emission wavelengths has been developed. Broadband excitation light is filtered to excite fluorophores in microbes. High efficiency collection reflectors allow detection of minimal amounts of microbial contamination. A working prototype is described.
