Abstract
A high resolution fluorescence imaging device includes a light guide plate having a fluid channel which allows a solution containing a fluorescent sample to pass; a light source disposed on a side of the light guide plate to irradiate light inward the light guide plate; an image sensor disposed under the light guide plate; and a thin film interposed between the light guide plate and the image sensor, wherein the thin film has a first surface having a plurality of pillars and a second surface, the pillars separate the light guide plate and the image sensor apart from each other, and the second surface is bonded to the light guide plate. According to an embodiment, since the light guide plate acts in place of a filter element, it is possible to manufacture in ultrasmall size and achieve multiple fluorescence imaging without replacing a filter.
