Abstract
An apparatus and method for illuminating a fluid having photosensitive material therein comprising a surface and a roller separated from the surface by a space. The space is adapted to receive a flexible container therein. The flexible container on the surface contacts the roller and the surface for translation through the space. A light source is adapted to transmit light to the space to illuminate the fluid and react with the photosensitive material as the flexible container translates through the space.
