First Claim
Patent Images
1. An instrument comprising:
- a plurality of spaced-apart reaction ingredient containers;
a light source adapted to direct an excitation beam toward the plurality of containers;
a Fresnel lens disposed along an excitation beam path, between the light source and the plurality of containers;
a detector disposed along an emission beam path and arranged to receive emission beams from the Fresnel lens; and
reaction ingredients disposed in each of the plurality of containers;
wherein the Fresnel lens is also disposed along an emission beam path between the plurality of containers and the detector, the Fresnel lens is adapted to direct emission beams from two or more of the plurality of containers to the detector, and the reaction ingredients comprise components for DNA replication.
