A surface plasmon resonance imaging apparatus provides an improved optical assembly allowing fixed source and detector operating with a horizontal test surface for a more compact design. In a preferred embodiment, a mechanical linkage of planar mirrors provides a single point adjustment of angle of incidence and angle of refraction while maintaining a constant optical axis of the source and detector.

Horizontal surface plasmon resonance instrument with improved light path

A surface plasmon resonant device provides practical portable operation through the use of a low power high efficiency LED source and a high-efficiency prism sample cell pre-loaded with probe molecules and sealed for field use. A simple mechanical control allows adjustment of angulation of the light and camera for accurate response outside of the laboratory.
