USE OF AN IMAGING PHOTOELECTRIC FLAT SENSOR FOR EVALUATING BIOCHIPS AND IMAGING METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

The invention relates to the use of an image-generating photoelectric area sensor 14, for example a CCD sensor, for contact imaging the surface 11 of a biochip 13 by measuring a radiation emitted from the surface of said biochip, such as, for example, chemiluminescence, bioluminescence or fluorescence radiation, and to an image generation method therefor. For this purpose, the biochip 13 is arranged at a distance as short as possible from an area sensor 14. The area sensor 14 is then able, without insertion of an imaging optical system, to detect a spatially resolved two-dimensional image of the radiation emitted from the surface of the functionalized region 12.
