1. A workstation configured to detect optical signals from samples, the samples including first and second types of samples, the optical system comprising:

  • a detector assembly configured to detect the optical signals from the samples;

    an optical assembly configured to receive and direct the optical signals to the detector assembly, the optical assembly including a selectively moveable component;

    an excitation light source assembly;

    a protocol module configured to subject the first and second types of samples to first and second imaging protocols, respectively, wherein each of the first and second imaging protocols includes illuminating the corresponding sample with the excitation light source assembly and detecting the corresponding optical signals; and

    an optics adjustment system configured to selectively move the moveable component of the optical assembly, wherein the optics adjustment system is configured to change the optical assembly between a first collective arrangement for the first imaging protocol and a different second collective arrangement for the second imaging protocol.
