Abstract
A detection system is provided for the measurement of in-vitro dental samples. The detection system includes an optical detection module that is configured for the detection of optical signals that are emitted in response to the absorption of an incident optical beam, and a control and processing unit that is configured for processing the detected optical signals and generating an image. The system also includes a sample holder may be removed and subsequently replaced without requiring recalibration of the system. In some embodiments, the optical detection module is configured for combined measurement of photothermal radiation and luminescence in response to the absorption of the incident optical beam.
