摘要：
Luminescence imaging apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed. A time-resolved luminescence imaging apparatus (100A) comprises: an optical assembly (2) operable to generate an array of beams； a scanner (4A) operable to scan the array of beams with respect to a sample (8), along a single scanning axis； and a detector assembly (10) having an array of detector elements, adjacent detector elements being spaced apart by an inter-element gap, each detector element being operable to detect emissions generated by the sample (8) in response to the array of beams. In this way, different locations on the sample (8) may be simultaneously scanned and imaged by the detector assembly (10) in order to image multiple parts of the sample (8) simultaneously. Also, by scanning along a single scanning axis, the complexity of the scanner (4A) is significantly reduced and the speed of scanning is increased compared to scanners which have to scan in two dimensions, such as a traditional raster scan mechanism.
