Abstract
Focusing a generated radiation signal on a detector is effected by a curvilinear surface. The radiation beam signal from the reflected surface is collimated or focused on the detector. Light scattered, Raman scattered, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, phosphorescence radiation signals from particles as a result of a chemical procedure or reaction is enhanced through this focusing technique. The enhanced signal which is detected is subsequently measured through different detection techniques.
