In this paper, we introduce the diagonal illumination method and the vertical illumination method of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system and compare the fluorescence intensity change patterns of the two methods using images captured with a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera during the PCR process. To overcome the problems of diagonal illumination, the PCR was performed by vertical illumination. The results of the PCR process with the proposed vertical illumination method were similar to those of the diagonal illumination method.
