Abstract: A method and apparatus for dating a body sample, such as blood, includes taking at least one spectroscopic measurement of the sample at at least two predetermined positions in the spectrum having spectral characteristics corresponding to at least two predetermined substances present in the sample that have a time varying relationship with each other. A measured relative concentration of each of the predetermined substances is then determined from the measurement, and the measured relative concentrations of the two predetermined substances is compared with a known variation of the relative concentrations of the two predetermined substances over time. A good fit of the measured relative concentrations to the known variation of the relative concentrations is then determined, so as to provide an indication of the age of the sample. Alternatively, instead of measuring the relative concentrations of each of the predetermined substances, the rate of change of the relative concentrations is determined.

Abstract: In a measuring probe (40) according to the present invention, measuring light is split into a two or more through a split optical system (12), and, when each split light is received by a light-receiving sensor (13B, 13B, 15B) through an interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A) serving as a color filter, the split light is introduced into the interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A) through a collecting lens group (123C, 14C, 15C) formed as a substantially bilateral telecentric system. The interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A) is formed to obtain a transmittance characteristic corresponding to a measurement parameter, depending on a condition of an intensity distribution with respect to incidents angles of light incident on the interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A). Thus, the measuring probe (40) according to the present invention can reduce an influence of a deviation in the transmittance characteristic due to incident angles, even using the interference filter (13A, 14A, 15A).

Abstract: The invention relates to an interference filter (100) for receiving an incident light (135) and selecting a light component of the incident light to be transmitted (115). The interference filter (100) includes a metal mirror (110), a dielectric mirror (130), and a spacer (120) placed between the metal mirror (110) and the dielectric mirror (130). The metal mirror (110) and the dielectric mirror (130) are configured to enable optical interference in the spacer (120) to select the light component of the incident light to be transmitted (115). Using one metal mirror and one dielectric mirror allows achieving a spectral response with high finesse and large rejection band while reducing the total number of layers in the filter and reducing the number of additional filters necessary for removing transmitted side bands, relative to prior art approaches.
