A system for assaying a fluid sample, typically employing a fluorescent tag, the system comprising a lens capable of focussing both excitation and fluorescent radiation, a fluid-flow conducting conduit being provided in the lens extending transversely of the optical axis of and through the focal region of the latter. One or more mechanical screens are disposed adjacent to the focal region in the conduit to arrest passage of beads as a function of bead diameter. The beads, precoated with at least a moiety of a ligand/conjugate complex, e.g. a specific-binding ligand, are preferably substantially transparent to both the excitation and fluorescent radiation.
