Abstract
The present invention relates to a device and detector for monitoring a plurality of discrete fluorescence signals, in particular for DNA sequencing by use of fluorescently labeled nucleotides. The particular detector () is proposed comprising a plurality of pixels () for individually detecting said fluorescence signals from the plurality of fluorescent signal sources (), wherein each pixel () comprises a predetermined number of at least two detection elements (D, Dn) for detecting a received fluorescent signal and for generating detection signals. Further, a signal conversion circuit () is provide for receiving said detection signals from said at least two detection elements (D, Dn) and for generating a pixel output signal indicating which of said at least two detection elements (D, Dn) generated the strongest detection signal.
