1. A microplate for use in assaying samples, comprising:

  • a plurality of wells including at least first and second adjacent wells, each one of the plurality of wells having least one sidewall that defines an interior of the one of the plurality of wells;

    a layer of light permeable material that forms a bottom of each of the first and second wells; and

    at least one rib of light impermeable material extending entirely through the layer of light permeable material, the at least one rib being disposed between the first and second wells to prevent light from passing between the first and second wells through the light permeable material, the at least one rib being offset from and between the sidewalls of the adjacent first and second wells so that the at least one rib is not in-line with the at least one sidewall of any of the plurality of wells.
