Abstract

An optical detector for particles, such as biological particles, has a transparent prism (1) with an upper surface (10) treated differently, such as with different antibodies, in several areas (17, 18, 19) so that different particles bind to different ones of the areas. A source (30) of monochromatic radiation directs a beam through a second face (11) so that it is incident on the underside of the upper surface (10) at an angle close to the angle of total internal reflection. Most of the radiation is reflected away from the upper surface and is absorbed in a radiation sink (32) on the third face (12) of the prism (1). Some of the radiation, however, is scattered by any particles bound to the antibody-treated areas. A magnifying viewer (40) mounted above the upper surface (10) enables identification of particles because of the different appearance of the area (17) to which the particles are bound.
