ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided which includes a sample holder for holding a reaction chamber which includes an optical interface, a fiber optic cable for delivering an excitation beam to a sample housed within the reaction chamber and for receiving light emitted by the sample, and a lens co-axially disposed with the fiber optic cable and positioned outside the reaction chamber for focusing the excitation beam through the optical interface and within a volume of the sample and for collecting and transmitting to the fiber optic cable light emitted within the volume of the sample.
