<p>A method and apparatus for performing optical analyses. One form of the present invention is an optical assembly (20) including a bank (22) of collimated visible-spectrum LEDs (24) shining onto an optical specimen through rectangular slits (30) and also including an optical detector (70) adapated to detect the light returned by the specimen. The optical specimen thereby is imaged as a series of overlapping rectangles (71). In one form, the optical analysis device (20) is controlled by a microprocessor capable of coordinating the optical analyses of the optical samples, calculating data points, and organizing and storing the data for later retrieval and including a user interface having a display function and a data input function.</p> |
