Abstract
A fiber optic epi-fluorescence imaging system in which the optical fibers are rearranged so that the system can be used for measuring luminescence samples. The system comprises at least two optical fibers () or bundles of fibers which lead to a CCD camera (), the fibers or bundles of fibers from all samples being arranged in two sets, a first set which are formed from a non-fluorescing material and a second set which are formed from a material which may fluoresce but enables the fibers formed therefrom to have a higher numerical aperature than those of the first set.
