Abstract

In this contribution we describe the realization of MUSES, a novel research equipment able to detect and identity photons emitted, after laser irradiation, from biological samples (like micro-organisms and human cells) for fast ultraweak luminescence analysis. MUSES has been entirely designed and realised at LNS-Southern National Laboratory of the Italian INFN-Nuclear Physics National Institute. The excellent performances in terms of timing, wavelength and angular identification make this multi-detector a unique device in biophotonics research field.
