    • A system for optical interrogation of a sample adaptable for multiple wavelength illumination and multiple wavelength fluorescent or luminescent light collection, wherein the illumination wavelength profile and the light collection profile may overlap. In the system, coherent light from one or more lasers is focused onto a target layer on a sample to excite fluorescent or luminescent light from the target layer. Emitted light is collected from a selected depth by a reflective light collector that transmits the collected light to detection optics. The reflective light collector directs collected light at an angle to the optical axis of the illumination light, thereby separating collected emitted light from illumination light. The light collector may collect light from a focus, whereby the focused illumination light combined with the focused light collection aid in limitation of the depth of field to a selected depth. Additionally, a spatial filter positioned between the light collector and the detection optics may be used to confine the depth of field to a selected depth. This device may be incorporated into an optical scanner by scanning of illumination light in a first direction and translation of the sample in a tangent direction. Alternatively, the illumination and detection optics may remain stationary and the detectable targets moved past a scanning location (e.g. as in electrophoretic analysis).

    • An assay and sample mixture for the enumeration of fluorescently stained target components of a whole blood sample by an imaging instrument. The sample preparation method ensures that the amount of target components per unit of volume of the whole blood sample is preserved by elimination of certain non-quantitative preparation steps while producing an even hematocrit layer within a scan capillary. Typical target components include white blood cells that express certain surface antigens, such as CD-4 and CD-8 proteins. To inhibit aggregation of the red blood cells, a reagent is added to an aliquot of whole blood sample. The aliquot of whole blood is mixed and with a preselected amount of a fluorescent dye and ligand complex which tags the target components. The sample and fluorescent complex are allowed to incubate a sufficient amount of time to bind enough of the fluorescent complex to the target components to provide a fluorescent signal from the target components which will be distinguishable from the fluorescent signal from the unbound fluorescent complex in the sample. The resulting mixture allows the imaging instrument to detect peak intensities of fluorescence from the target components, thereby allowing the target components to be volumetrically enumerated with an improved level of accuracy and efficiency.

    • An electrophoresis-based assay system for detection of one or more target substances, i.e. an analyte tagged with fluorescent binding agents. The analyte is reacted with an excess amount of fluorescently tagged binding agent. The reaction mixture is subjected to electrophoresis and the migration of bound and free fluorescent substances are timed at a location where there is a spatial and optical differentiation of the two substances. An optical detector supplies signals corresponding to fluorescent amplitudes of the two substances. The free fluorescent substance arrives at a time expected from calibration runs. This optical signal is a marker for a second time, either earlier or later, when the bound substance should have arrived. Recorded data is searched to establish the relation between free and bound dye among the recorded optical signals. An absence of a bound dye signal infers the absence of target analyte in a sample. The amounts of bound and unbound amounts of the same fluorescent substance may be related by ratio of amplitudes of the optical signals so that the amount of target analyte may be estimated.

    • An apparatus for digitizing an image on a film material using a plurality of movable equally spaced light detectors. Light sources direct light through a sheet of the material disposed on a transparent drum. The light which is transmitted is imaged onto light detectors through apertures in a mask. As the drum rotates, the mask and light detectors move in unison longitudinally at a rate of one pixel width per drum revolution. One embodiment of a scanning module comprises only light detectors and mask, while another embodiment also includes a pair of lens arrays that image the sheet onto the detectors. There are an integral number of pixel widths between adjacent detectors. A plurality of parallel lines on the mask and a scanner fixed relative to the drum sense the relative position between the mask and the drum for providing corrective feedback information to a motor moving the mask and light detectors. Color recording may be provided with a mask having three rows of apertures in which each row transmits a different one of red, green, and blue light. The film image is represented by a mosaic of pixels with each pixel mapping to an element of memory.
