“…The spectroscopic means can be categorized as time-division filters 9,12,19 dichroic mirrors, 4,5,15,16,[20][21][22] or wavelength dispersion. 8,10,17,18,23 With time-division filters, each of the different plural wavelength-band-pass filters is mechanically and sequentially inserted. With dichroic mirrors, a single dichroic mirror or a series of plural dichroic mirrors is used to split the fluorescence flux into plural fluxes with different wavelength bands.…”
