Abstract
A conversion assembly for converting a spectrophotometer to a fluorometer which utilizes the light source and light detector of the spectrophotometer. The assembly has a conversion adaptor which is positionable in the spectrophotometer between the light source and the light detector. The adaptor is an enclosure having a receptacle for holding a sample container filled with the sample being analyzed and having openings formed therein to provide a light path for excitation light from the light source to the sample container and further to provide a light path for emitted luminescent light from the sample container to the light detector. In one embodiment the excitation light is centered on an optical shield on the front of the enclosure while light receiving openings at the edges of the front of the enclosure are positioned to receive off center excitation light. In another embodiment a light receiving opening is formed in the side of the enclosure and excitation light centered on the front of the enclosure is reflected around to the opening in the side of the enclosure by a plurality of reflectors.
