1. A molecular imaging device for imaging molecules within a biological sample, comprising:

  • a UV light source arranged to shine onto a sample to be investigated;

    a UV detector arranged to detect the position of molecules of a selected class by the molecular UV absorption of molecules of that class, wherein the detector comprises a single wafer of detector material, the wafer having a plurality of parallel sided grooves in a surface thereof thereby defining between the grooves and plurality of parallel sided detector elements, opposing sides of each element carrying opposing readout electrodes; and

    means for applying a potential difference between the opposing electrodes of each element to create an electric field across the element.
