4.5.3 Time-Resolved Fluorescence Optic Module, FRET and TR-FRET, for example HTRF
®
The time-resolved fluorescence optic module (figure 20) is optimized for HTRF
®
. The beam splitters, dichoic
mirror, as well as the filters, are all specially selected to give the very best performance.

4.5.4 Luminescence Optic Modules
Luminescence assays are mostly towards light of unspecific wavelength and therefore the default optic
module is an empty module. The empty module (figure 21) still needs to be there because it limits reflection
and scatter.

The LUM+ Module is intended for microplate formats up to 384 wells.
