Device for optically exciting fluorescence

A method includes determining the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample. Determining the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample includes receiving a first image containing an image of the sample, the first image obtained using an image sensor having two or more colour channels. Determining the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample includes extracting first and second mono-colour arrays from the first image, the first and second mono-colour arrays corresponding to different colour channels of the image sensor, wherein each mono-colour array comprises one or more entries and each entry is determined by aggregating one or more pixels of the first image. Determining the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample includes determining a filtered array based on the first and second mono-colour arrays, each entry of the filtered array calculated as a ratio of the corresponding entries of the first and second mono-colour arrays, or calculated as a difference of the corresponding entries of the first and second mono-colour images. Determining the presence or concentration of an analyte in a sample includes determining the presence or concentration of the analyte based on the filtered array.
