Abstract
A mucus sample is positioned between a pair of plates at specific pressure and temperature. At least one of the plates is transparent to certain radiation and at least one of the plates is formed with ports for extrusion of the sample in order to provide a mucus stratum of predetermined thickness between the plates for measurement of optical transmissivity and/or diffusivity as an indication of the phase of the menstrual cycle.
