Claim 14:
15. A mobile chemical sensor device comprising:
a housing including a cartridge opening;
a cartridge configured to position at least one chemical sensor probe having a sensor-bearing surface that includes an array of luminescent chemical sensors, wherein the cartridge forms a light sealed enclosure in an interior of the housing when the cartridge is inserted in the cartridge opening;
at least one light source configured to direct light onto the sensor-bearing surface of the at least one chemical sensor probe at an angle of incidence, wherein the light source is capable of emitting light having a wavelength of from about 280 nm to about 400 nm;
a camera module mounted in the light sealed enclosure and configured to detect emitted light from the at least one chemical sensor probe;
an optical mirror configured to reflect emitted light from the at least one chemical sensor probe to the camera module; and
a single-board computer or a multi-board computer mounted in the light sealed enclosure;
a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) mounted in the light sealed enclosure and connected to the single-board computer or multi-board computer; and
a light source board mounted in an adjustable position on the PCBA,
wherein the at least one light source is mounted on the light source board, and wherein the light source board is configured to adjust the angle of incidence between the at least one light source and the sensor-bearing surface of the chemical sensor probe.
