Abstract

This paper describes the autocollimation optical scheme of a fluorimeter that allows detecting different reactions from multiple wells of a microplate at the same time. The image focusing is implemented a spherical mirror that excludes the presence of background illumination and chromatic aberration. The operation of the fluorimeter is demonstrated by measuring a signal from the microplate with 96 and 384 individual wells.
