1. A liquid delivery device adapted to deliver a liquid drug to a patient or animal comprising:
- a reservoir adapted to contain liquid drug to be delivered, the reservoir having an outlet through which liquid drug may be dispensed, a liquid dispensing which causes a movement of the liquid drug from the reservoir to and out of the outlet, wherein the reservoir comprises an optical window section having predetermined optical and physical properties that allows radiation to pass therethrough in a known manner into the interior of the reservoir and that allows radiation affected by the content of the reservoir to pass through as the affected radiation leaves the interior of the reservoir.

1. A liquid delivery device adapted to deliver a liquid drug to a patient or animal comprising:
-
a reservoir adapted to contain liquid drug to be delivered, the reservoir having an outlet through which liquid drug may be dispensed, a liquid dispensing which causes a movement of the liquid drug from the reservoir to and out of the outlet, wherein the reservoir comprises an optical window section having predetermined optical and physical properties that allows radiation to pass therethrough in a known manner into the interior of the reservoir and that allows radiation affected by the content of the reservoir to pass through as the affected radiation leaves the interior of the reservoir. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
