Abstract: A fluid analysis system for analyzing and controlling fluid transfer. The fluid analysis system can include a controller, an optical device, a light source, and a fluid channel. The controller can be communicatively coupled to the optical device. The light source can be disposed adjacent the optical device. The light source can be configured to produce light in a viewing zone of the optical device, such that the optical device can capture the light produced by the light source. The fluid channel can be disposed adjacent the optical device and within the viewing zone of the optical device, and the fluid channel can be configured to provide a fluid flow path. The controller is configured to store and analyze images provided by the optical device to identify characteristics of a fluid flowing through the fluid channel.

Abstract: A probe for detecting cancerous tissue, the probe including an illuminator, an optical spectrum analyzer, and an indicator for indicating whether cancerous tissue has been detected in reflected spectrum analyzed by the optical spectrum analyzer. A method for detecting cancerous tissue, the method including providing a probe including an optical spectrum analyzer, placing the probe to include tissue-to-be-tested within a Field-Of-View (FOV) of the spectrum analyzer, optically illuminating the tissue-to-be-tested, analyzing light reflected from the tissue-to-be-tested, and determining whether or not cancerous tissue is detected in the FOV. Related apparatus and methods are also described.
