  • Device for non-invasively detecting the oxygen metabolism in tissues
    Patent number: 6859658
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for noninvasive determination of the oxygen turnover and data derived therefrom with an optical sensor (S) to be placed on the tissue with one or more light sources (W, L) which send light through the optical fibers to the sensor (S), one or more detectors (DD, DR) which receive light backscattered by the tissue through optical fibers, and an evaluation unit.

  • Detection probe for optical spectroscopy and spectrometry
    Patent number: 6556851
    Abstract: The invention relates to a detection probe for spectroscopy and/or spectrometry in tissue (4) with the aid of optical fibers (1,2). At least one fiber (2) transmits light into the tissue (4) and other fibers (2) receive backscattered light. According to the invention, deflection devices (mirrors 6, fibers 7, prisms 9,10,11) are provided for the light, whereby the inventive probe is substantially flatter and easier to handle.
