1. A sensing apparatus comprising:

  • a planar substrate having a first side and a second side that is opposite and parallel to said first side, wherein the substrate defines therethrough a via, said via being a pathway that extends from said first side to said second side of the substrate;

    a sensing element disposed on said first side, wherein the sensing element is configured to sense an analyte; and

    electronics disposed on said second side, wherein the electronics include an illumination device for illuminating the analyte,wherein the via is hermetically sealed from the first side of the substrate to the second side of the substrate, wherein the via is at least partially filled with an optically transmissive material, and wherein the via is at least partially filled with an additional material, said additional material comprising an electrically conductive material other than air.
