Abstract: A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) instrument is provided, in which light from one or more broad spectrum LEDs is sequentially passed through corresponding apertures directly into a Dove prism. Upon entering the Dove prism the light is refracted onto a surface of the prism against which an SPR sensor is attached, then internally reflects off the surface to a third surface of the Dove prism.
