1. An imaging element for analysis of a sample and comprising:
an electrode adapted to receive the sample,
a light-emitting element, disposed opposite the electrode, and separated from the electrode by an insulating protective layer,
a voltage-controlled current source configured to supply current to the light-emitting element and comprising a control electrode electrically connected to the electrode, so that said light-emitting element generates a light wave in response to a voltage coming from the sample.
