  abstract =     "We report our progress in developing a miniaturized version of an optical-fiber
                 sensor for the measurement of ammonia. The principle of the measurement is based on
                 the combination of photon counting and fluorescence from a pH indicator. This
                 sensor has been developed in order to monitor the release of ammonia by
                 photoreceptors of the honeybee drone retina under stimulation by light or by a
                 chemical. It has a dynamic of 25 dB and a detection limit of 30 nM. Sensors for
                 other chemicals could be constructed on the same principle, by simply changing the
                 indicator used.",
