A solution is proposed for testing a luminescence imaging apparatus (). A corresponding testing device () comprises one or more seats () and one or more containers (), each filled with a liquid comprising at least one luminescence substance and accommodated in a corresponding seat (); the seats () have corresponding windows () for imaging the luminescence substance of the containers () accommodated therein. The seats () are slanted with respect to a resting surface () of the testing device (). A holder () for use in the testing device () is further provided. A luminescence imaging apparatus () for use with the testing device () is also proposed. Moreover, a system () comprising a luminescence imaging apparatus () and this testing device () is proposed.

The invention relates to a system for endoscopic imaging comprising a light source configured to generate light and an, in particular rigid, insertion portion configured to be inserted into an object and comprising a distal end, a proximal end and at least one light guiding path. The system further comprises a first imaging device mounted at the proximal end of the insertion portion and optically coupled to the light guiding path, the first imaging device comprising a plurality of first detecting elements exhibiting a first sensitivity to light. A flexible guiding portion comprising a distal end and a proximal end is provided to guide a second part of the light emanating from the medium from the distal end of the guiding portion to the proximal end of the guiding portion. A second imaging device provided at the proximal end of the flexible guiding portion comprises a plurality of second detecting elements exhibiting a second sensitivity to light, the second sensitivity of the second detecting elements being higher than the first sensitivity of the first detecting elements. A control unit is configured to derive at least one third image of the medium based on image data of the at least one first image of the medium and image data of the at least one second image of the medium. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for processing images.
