An optical waveguiding optical format (10) enables consistent optical analysis of small sample volumes. The optical format is comprised of an illumination light guide (18), a read window (32) upon which a sample (34) is placed, a sample collection needle (36) or capillary, and a detection guide (40). Light redirecting facets (30,38) are provided within the format itself such that the format serves as a unitary component for accepting light, directing light through a sample, and emitting light for detection. <IMAGE> |
