Abstract: A modular system for optical diagnosis of a sample includes a portable optical probe, a light source, a filter, and a gain detector. A first optical element releasably, optically couples the optical probe to the light source. A second optical element releasably, optically couples the optical probe to the filter and a third optical element releasably, optically couples the filter to the gain detector. The optical probe receives an optical signal from the light source via the first optical element and directs the optical signal onto the sample, thereby inducing fluorescence emission from the sample. The optical probe receives the fluorescence emission from the sample and transmits to the filter via the second optical element. The filter transmits the fluorescence emission to the gain detector via the third optical element. The optical head includes a beam splitter which reflects the fluorescence emission from the sample to the filter.

Abstract: A reference-color measurement step of obtaining a reference-color measurement value by measuring a spectroscopic-radiation luminance of a light being emitted from a reference-color portion in a measurement direction, or a tristimulus value thereof, using a light-source-color measuring instrument 5, without irradiating the reference-color portion with a light source for measurement, in a predetermined measurement environment; an objective-portion measurement step of obtaining an objective-portion measurement value by measuring a spectroscopic-radiation luminance of a light being emitted from a measurement-objective portion in the measurement direction, or a tristimulus value thereof, using the light-source-color measuring instrument 5, without irradiating the measurement-objective portion with a light source for measurement, in the measurement environment; and a color identification step of finding a color of the measurement-objective portion by means of computation from a ratio of the objective-portion measurement value with respect to the reference-color measurement value are equipped. Even when measuring a color of such a body, like a body including a fluorescent material, whose reflectivity has changed depending on the type of light source, it is possible to measure the color of such a body accurately.

Abstract: A shutter includes micro-optics having first and second concentrator arrays. A transducer laterally displaces one of the first and second concentrator arrays between transmissive and shuttered modes. In the transmissive mode, the arrays of concentrators are optically aligned to permit electromagnetic energy passing through the first array of concentrators to pass through the second array of concentrators. In the shuttered mode, the electromagnetic radiation is blocked from passing through the second array of concentrators. The concentrators may be compound parabolic concentrators, or lenslets positioned on opposing plates with pinholes printed therethrough. The shutter may increase f-number of radiation passing therethrough, and may be used in a limited f-cone radiation source with shuttering abilities, for example reducing f-cone of radiation output from the radiation source.

Abstract: A system and method of correlating Raman measurements with digital images of a sample so to classify the sample's disease state. A spectroscopic data set is obtained for the sample positioned in the field of view of a spectroscopic device. With the sample removed from the field of view, the sample is treated with a contrast enhancing agent. The treated sample is repositioned in the spectroscopic device's field of view and a digital image of the treated sample is obtained. The spectroscopic data set is linked with the digital image by defining a transformation to map the image spatial coordinates of the digital image to the spectral spatial coordinates of the spectroscopic data. For the spectroscopic data set of the sample, the database is searched to identify a spectroscopic data set, of a known sample having well characterized pathology, which matches the sample's spectroscopic data set.
