    Abstract: A system for detecting emissions from a sample containing nucleotide molecules contains a sample holder, an optical illumination system, an optical sensor. The sample holder includes a plurality of spatially separated reaction sites configured to hold a sample containing nucleotide molecules. The optical illumination system comprising a radiant source configured to simultaneously illuminate two or more of the reaction sites. The illumination system includes a homogenizer. An output from the homogenizer has less variation in power, energy, irradiance, or intensity than the variation in power, energy, irradiance, or intensity of the source.

    Abstract: A system for determining the number of target nucleotide molecules in a sample includes a sample holder, an excitation optical system, an optical sensor, and an emission optical system. The sample holder is configured to receive an article comprising at least 20,000 separate reaction sites. The excitation optical system comprises a light source configured to simultaneously illuminate the at least 20,000 separate reaction sites. The optical sensor comprises a predetermined number of pixels, the predetermined number of pixels being at least 20 times the number of separate reaction sites. The emission optical system comprises a system working distance from the sample holder, wherein the working distance is less than or equal to 60 millimeters.
