1. An apparatus for analysing luminescence of a plurality of samples, comprising
a. at least one fibre-optic plate having a lower side and an upper side opposite to the lower side, with each sample being assigned a plurality of fibres of the fibre-optic plate, with light radiation incident on the lower side being transmittable through the fibre-optic plate from the lower side to the upper side;
b. at least one camera optical unit; and
c. at least one light-sensor array, with the sample, the fibre-optic plate, the camera optical unit and the light-sensor array being successively arranged in an observation beam path, with the lower side of the fibre-optic plate having a planar form and being arranged facing the samples,
wherein the samples are arranged in at least one sample receiving apparatus, which has a plurality of separated wells for accommodating the samples, and
wherein the lower side of the fibre-optic plate is arranged so as to lie on the sample receiving apparatus.
