ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus of imaging fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is provided. The instrument allows the user to simultaneously acquire images from several different colors. This system, used in conjunction with a combinatorial fluorescence approach, is able to create a FISH karyotype with each chromosome being painted with a different color. The optical system is continuously tunable over the detection wavelengths. In one embodiment of the system the sample is simultaneously irradiated in more than one wavelength band and the detection system uses a common path interferometer to scan through the detection wavelengths.
