ABSTRACT:
Simultaneous illumination along each of multiple axis for panoramic viewing of a macroscopically-sized specimen along a single viewing axis is realized by dichroic mirrors. Selective control of illumination intensity and/or color(s) of, permissively, each of multiple illuminating lights along multiple illumination axis of the specimen as are induced to fluoresce at corresponding different colors and intensities will all appear clearly visible, and well balanced, in a composite image nonetheless to intrinsically being of greatly differing brightness. Color and intensity calibration of the well-balanced composite image in all its colors and regions may optionally be realized by one or more fluorescent image calibration step wedges. A rule, or grid, scale may be imposed upon the image. The resulting panoramic composite image contains a great deal of quantitative information, being optionally calibrated in any of dimension, scale, overall brightness, the separate intensities of, permissively, each of several separate differently-colored fluorescent emissions.
