Method and device for measuring luminescence

摘要

A method exites and determines a luminescence in an analyte sample which is located in contact with the waveguiding layer of an optical layer waveguide. The luminescence is generated by non-evanescent excitation in the volume of the analyte sample. Luminescence radiation generated in the immediate proximity of the surface of the waveguiding layer is conducted to a measuring device and determined after penetrating the waveguiding layer.
