A sample well plate (10), having an array of sample wells (12) formed therein, has its underside surfaces coated with a highly reflective coating (16), including the outer surfaces of the sample wells (12). The coating is preferably formed from metal, for example silver or nickel. The sample well plate (10) is formed of a light transmissive material to ensure the full benefit of the reflectivity of the coating (16). The coating provides substantial increases in reflectivity compared with prior art sample well plates. |
