Abstract
A cuvette provided with integral optical elements for use in photometric measurements, wherein the cuvette includes means, such as a cell, for receiving a medium, such as a seeded culture growth medium, undergoing change in optical characteristics which change modifies the energy level of a ray of energy, such as a transilluminating ray of light, passing through the medium, and wherein the cuvette is further provided with integrally formed first and second ray modifying optical means, such as integrally formed collimating and collecting lens, wherein the first ray modifying means receives and modifies the ray in a first predetermined manner, such as by collimation, and transmits the ray into the medium and wherein the second ray modifying optical means receives and modifies the ray in a second manner, such as by collection, upon the ray passing through the medium and transmits the ray from the cuvette.
