Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/AU84/00122 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 28, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 28, 1985 PCT Filed Jun. 29, 1984 PCT Pub. No. WO85/00426 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 31, 1985.Optical measurement apparatus includes a cell (12) adapted to receive fluid for testing and a light source (16) arranged to direct an incident light beam (5) into the cell. A hollow intergration sphere (14) and light-sensitive detector (26) are provided to detect at least a pre-determined portion of light emitted by a segment (13) of the cell transversely of the direction of said incident light beam. The light source (16) and the cell (12) are arranged so that the light incident on the cell is not collimated but, as it traverses segment of the cell, is confined to the cell by total internal reflection, unless otherwise scattered by particles in the cell.
