    Abstract: A method of analysing a sample in the form of a droplet provided on a sample-receiving surface includes providing a light source and a detector in a housing, positioning said sample-receiving surface in or on the housing, and focussing an incident beam of light to a focal point in the vicinity of the sample. Light is detected from the sample resulting from an interaction with the sample, the sample-receiving surface, or the atmosphere surrounding the sample. At least one parameter of the detected light is measured, and the sample-receiving surface is translated relative to the housing such that the focal point is at a different region of the sample, the sample-receiving surface, or the atmosphere surrounding the sample. The step of measuring one or more parameters of the detected light is repeated following the translating step.

    Abstract: A mechanism and method for precisely arranging two or more optical elements, such as those incorporated into photoelastic modulators (PEMs), at a specific angular orientation. The method includes supporting one optical element in an annular mounting member that has an optic axis, and supporting other optical elements in other annular mounting members that have optic axes, and concentrically stacking together the two or more mounting members about a central axis in a manner such that one mounting member may be rotated relative to the others about the central axis and such that the optic axes of the mounting members define an optics angle, and rotating one mounting member relative to the others to define the specific angular orientation of the optical elements.

    Abstract: Apparatus for analysing a liquid sample (194) comprises beam generating means (1) for generating electromagnetic radiation, detector means (8) for detecting electromagnetic radiation from the beam generating means after the radiation has interacted with the sample, and sample retaining means (10) for releasably retaining sample in the path of the beam. The sample retaining means comprises a hydrophobic surface (for example, a coating on a plate 118) on which the sample is, in use, supported. There is also disclosed a method of performing photometric or spectrophotometric analysis of a liquid sample by sandwiching samples between two opposed hydrophobic support surfaces, passing a beam of electromagnetic radiation through one of the surfaces and then through the sample, and analysing the beam after it has passed through the sample.

    Abstract: A fluorometer has a partly transparent mirror through which excitation light is directed to the sample and via which emitted light from the sample is reflected. Thus a high sensitivity and, furthermore, as homogenous a measurement sensitivity distribution as possible within a vessel are achieved. Measuring can be carried out from either above or below. The device is applicable for use especially when the fluorometer has simultaneously a plurality of samples.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a mechanism for aligning and orienting a probe in an optical system. The mechanism includes a sensor head, which are defined with one or more provisions. Further, the mechanism includes at least one block member, which is movably disposed within the one or more provisions in the sensor head. The at least one block member is defined with a cavity to accommodate a probe. During contact of the probe with a surface of the subject, a torque is generated, which facilitates in aligning the probe on the surface of the subject. The block member is configured to tilt corresponding to movement of the probe, for aligning the probe at an angle on the surface of the subject.
