Abstract
A device for reflected-light photometry, that determines the reflectivity of a specimen area which is part of an objective area specifically dedicated for the determination of certain properties, especially those of the reaction area of a medical-laboratory test strip. The device has a light source for illuminating the specimen area, preferably with diffuse light, and a photodetector that picks up light reflected from the specimen area. There is, in accordance with the invention, an opaque diaphragm with a particular shape, position, and mounting in the path of light between the specimen area and the detector.
