摘要： An apparatus for performing photochemical measurements on a liquid or liquid-containing sample (LS) comprising: a light generating system (LGS), an optical system (OS) configured for directing light from the light generating system towards the sample and a sensing system (SS, SS') for measuring at least one optical property of the sample, characterized in that:
- the light generating system is configured for generating light with intensity levels adjustable within a range, spanning at least three and preferably at least five orders of magnitude; and in that
- the optical system is configured for directing light from the light generating system towards the sample so as to generate a substantially uniform light intensity level, within a cylindrical region of the sample having a height larger than or equal to five time its radius.

摘要： A method for detecting a reversibly photoswitchable chemical species in a sample, comprising the steps of:
a) illuminating the sample (S) with light suitable to be absorbed by the chemical species triggering a reaction affecting an optical property of the chemical species, said first light being periodically-modulated at a fundamental modulation frequency;
b) measuring the evolution of the optical property;
c) extracting at least one of an in-phase component at a frequency which is an even multiple of the fundamental modulation frequency; and a quadrature component at a frequency which is an odd multiple of the fundamental modulation frequency of a signal representing said evolution; and
d) using the extracted component or components for detecting the chemical species.
An apparatus for carrying out the method.
