The invention comprises an apparatus and method for simple fluorescence
spectrometry in a down hole environment. The apparatus and method
utilization of two UV light bulbs and an optically clear UV coupler and a
fluid containment system. The optically clear UV coupler and fluid
containment system are made of sapphire. The apparatus is attached in a
manner that enables light transmitted from a light source on the far side
of the fluid containment system to pass through a pathway in a plate
holding the UV bulbs. UV light illuminates the fluid, which in turn
fluoresces light. The fluoresced light is transmitted back towards the UV
bulb mount and through the pathway towards an optical spectrum analyzer.
