Abstract

The present invention relates to a hand-held fluorescence photometer and method for measuring an analyte level, preferably a blood glucose level, from an ocular fluid. The photometer is based on a dual beams measuring system and it is capable of defining the correct positioning for the measurement. Only when the apparatus is correctly positioned the actual analyte measurement automatically takes place.
