ABSTRACT:
The disclosure generally relates to a multimode imaging apparatus for simultaneously obtaining multiple wavelength-discriminative spectral images of a sample. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes an image selector having a rotator assembly, the rotator assembly housing a first plurality of optical components, the image selector adapted to receive a illuminating photons having a first wavelength and direct the illuminating photons to the sample, the image selector adapted to receive illuminating photons interacted with the sample and selectively direct said interacted photons to one of a plurality of detection sources; a microscope turret housing a second plurality of components, the microscope turret adapted to receive illuminating photons having a second wavelength and direct the photons to the sample; the microscopic turret adapted to receive illuminating photons interacted with the sample and selectively direct said interacted photons to one of a plurality of detection sources; wherein substantially all of the interacted photons are selectively directed one of a plurality of detection sources to form multiple wavelength discriminative spectral images of the sample simultaneously.
