Abstract

A method for optical detection of characteristic quantities of the wavelength-dependent behavior of an illuminated specimen, such as the emission behavior and/or absorption behavior, preferably the fluorescence and/or enzyme fluorescence comprises determining at least one spectral centroid and/or a maximum of the emission radiation and/or of the absorbed radiation. An arrangement for performing the method is disclosed.
