Abstract
A luminescence sensor, comprising a non-transparent substrate structure () having at least one aperture () intended to comprise an analyte and a transparent substrate structure (), which is arranged to or adjacent said first structure (). The aperture has a smallest lateral dimension, which is smaller than half the effective wavelength of an excitation radiation, such as light at a wavelength of 700 nm, resulting in an effective wavelength in water of about 538 nm. The transparent structure has a trench () with a surface portion provided with ligands with an affinity towards a target molecule. The trench results in that a luminophore attached to the target molecule will be positioned at the entrance surface of the aperture, where the excitation energy is largest.
