| 1. A measuring device for optically analyzing a diagnostic test element, the measuring device comprising:
a light source having at least one organic light-emitting diode;
imaging optics;
a photodetector; and
a device adapted to position the test element in an optical path between the light source and the photodetector, wherein the
light source forms a composite structure including a support substrate, the imaging optics and the photodetector, and wherein
the support substrate is transparent.
