  • Patent number: 9335268
    Abstract: A device (10) and a method for analyzing a sample (16) containing fluorophores use a light source (12) emitting light (?ex) onto the sample (16), and onto a fluorescence standard (14). The fluorophores of the sample (16), given an immission of light of a first wavelength (?ex1), have a first excitation efficiency and, given an immission of light of a second wavelength (?ex2), have a second excitation efficiency. The fluorescence standard (14), given the same immissions of light, has a third excitation efficiency and, a fourth excitation efficiency. An optical element (20) which is arranged between the light source (12) and the sample (16) and/or (12) the fluorescence standard (14) adapts, due to its optical property, a first difference between the first excitation efficiency and the second excitation efficiency and a second difference between the third excitation efficiency and the fourth excitation efficiency to each other.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2015
    Date of Patent: May 10, 2016
    Assignee: LRE Medical GmbH
