An instrument for quantitative analysis using a matrix of radiation emitting diodes has means for assuring that a sample receives substantially uniform radiation from each diode. In the preferred embodiment a lens is used to direct the radiation beams to a focal plane where there is a matte surface diffuser backed with an aperture to provide relatively uniform radiant energy field through the aperture to a sample chamber. With this arrangement the same energy distribution contacts the test samples from each of the radiation sources.

Optical arrangement for quantitative analysis instrument utilizing

An apparatus for near infrared quantitative analysis with an infrared emitting diode (IRED) source utilizes narrow bandpass filters and silicon detectors to provide highly accurate and inexpensive measurement. A narrow bandpass filter in the light path of the IRED passes wavelengths outside the half power bandwidth points of the IRED. A silicon detector together with a sensitive amplifier is used to accurately measure linearly up to six decades of light sensitivity at desired wavelengths.
