Abstract: A fluorescence or luminescence scanner and a method for generating 3D fluorescence or luminescence scans are disclosed. The scanner records a fluorescence and/or luminescence image and an optical image of the body to be examined. A pattern, such as a pattern of stripes or some other geometric pattern, is projected at a first angle onto the body to be examined. As a function of the geometric angles, based on the patterns recorded, 3D location information of each surface point of the scanned body is calculated. Both an optical image and a 3D fluorescence and/or luminescence image are obtained. The mutually superimposed (fused) images can be displayed in the form of a 3D fluorescence or luminescence scan.

Abstract: An image sensor for a fluorescence scanner for recording both optical and fluorescence images is described. The image sensor includes an image detector and a filter layer. The filter layer comprises at least two different surface portions which have at least two different filter properties. At least one surface portion has a filter characteristic such that fluorescent light can pass through, and at least visible light is filtered out. At least one further surface portion has a filter characteristic such that visible light can pass through.
