Abstract
A detection system for separately detecting different wavelengths of emission light emitted from a sample. The system includes a detection assembly to receive the emission light emitted from the sample. The detection assembly includes a multi-band dichroic member and at least first and second detection cameras. The multi-band dichroic member has a transmission/reflection characteristic with at least two transmissive regions separated from each other along a wavelength spectrum and with at least one reflective region separated from the transmissive regions along the wavelength spectrum. The dichroic member transmits portions of the emission light that align with the at least two transmissive regions to the first detection camera. The dichroic member reflects a portion of the emission light that aligns with the reflective region to the second detection camera.
