1. A device for detecting light from a sample, the device comprising:
- a stage for supporting a sample at an examination site;
an optics bead positioned above or below the examination site;
a first drive mechanism that adjusts the distance between the optics head and the examination site;
a confocal relay structure connected to the optics head for transmitting luminescence from the examination site to a first detector; and
a nonconfocal optical relay structure connected to the optics head and dedicated to transmitting chemiluminescence from the examination site to a second detector.

Abstract
A device for detecting chemiluminescence from a sample. The device may include a stage for supporting a sample and one or more of the following elements: (1) an optics head, (2) an optical relay structure for transmitting chemiluminescence from the sample to a detector, (3) a drive mechanism, (4) a sensor for detecting proximity of the optical relay structure to the sample, (5) a mask structure for selecting an effective diameter of the optical relay structure, and (6) a baffle for blocking extraneous light from entering the optical relay structure.
