Abstract: An apparatus for enhancing the selectivity for spectroscopic measurements of analytes in a turbid medium is described. In one example, spatial filters are used to select only certain radii from the medium to be imaged. This selection is accomplished by placing an optical obstruction on the surface of the medium or at an image plane of the surface later in the optical imaging system. In one implementation, this is achieved by placing a fiber bundle at an image plane of the collecting optical system and then using a spacer of appropriate size at the center of the fiber bundle to act as a central obstruction.

Abstract: A light receiving optical system includes: a relay optical system for converging light to be measured which has been converged on an image plane of an objective optical system on a view angle defining aperture for incidence through the view angle defining aperture. The light receiving optical system has the relay optical system with a relay lens operable to be selectively switched between a first and a second conjugated positions, and a first and a second light flux limiting aperture members disposed in proximity to the relay lens in the case where the relay lens is selectively switched between the first and the second conjugated positions. The relay optical system selectively forms, on the image plane of the objective optical system, an enlarged image and a reduced image of the view angle defining aperture in the case where the relay lens is selectively switched between the first and the second conjugated positions to define an incident light flux through the view angle defining aperture by a first and a second light flux limiting apertures, respectively, in the case where the relay lens is selectively switched between the first and the second conjugated positions. A spectrophotometer has the light receiving optical system.
