Abstract
In an image information reader that includes an excitation light source , a photoelectric reading mechanism, and an external light shield for reading a sample distributing specific organism-originated material labeled with a fluorescent dye, a sample tray is provided having the qualities of easy rinsing and enduring of repeated use. The sample tray includes a base material, e.g. an aluminum plate , that is coated with a fluororesin, e.g. an hybrid resin of PTFE and PFA having a black color as a base. The tray can also include depressed or projected markings on the surface on which the sample is placed which represent a readable range of the photoelectric reading mechanism. A method of making the sample tray for the reader is also described.
