    Abstract: A spectroscopic apparatus and method for analyzing a biological material are provided. The spectroscopic apparatus may analyze a biological material which has an internal non-uniform tissue depending on a position thereof. The apparatus may include at least one detector configured to obtain respective detection spectrums corresponding to a plurality of measurement regions that are at mutually different positions of the biological material, and an information processor to determine whether the measurement regions are normal by mutually comparing the detection spectrums, or converting contribution degrees of data for a specific component of the biological material by differentiating the detection spectrums.

    Abstract: A sensor device for quantifying luminescent targets. The device comprises a light source for exciting the targets, thus generating luminescence signals, and a detector for detecting these signals of the targets in a cell, resulting in a detected signal comprising a desired signal and a background signal. The detector has a spatial cell resolution and/or a time resolution that is so high that only a limited number of targets will be present in the cell when measuring at low concentration and/or that only a limited number of targets add to the cell in between two measurements. A change in the number of targets in the cell can be observed in the detected signal. The device comprises a processor configured to distinguish the desired and the background signal, and to combine the detected signals of the different cells and/or moments in time, to quantify the targets.
