    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for the determination of carotenoid antioxidants and similar chemical compounds in biological tissue such as living skin. The method and apparatus provide a noninvasive, rapid, accurate, and safe determination of carotenoid levels which in turn can provide diagnostic information of the antioxidant status of tissue. Reflection spectroscopy is used to measure the concentrations of carotenoids and similar substances in tissue. White light is directed upon the area of tissue that is of interest. A small fraction of diffusively scattered light is collected and measured. The tissue is pressured to temporarily squeeze blood out of the measured tissue volume while the reflection spectrum is continuously monitored, displayed, and analyzed in near real time. After an optimal time period of typically 15 seconds, the influence of the dominating hemoglobin and oxyhemoglobin tissue absorptions on the reflection spectra are minimized.

    Abstract: A surface defect inspection apparatus in accordance with the present invention is a surface defect inspection apparatus 500 which includes a tested object 40 a multi-layer film is formed on the surface thereof, and an illumination portion 5 which irradiates an illumination light 6b generated by the illumination lamp 41 onto the tested object 40 so that the image of the tested object irradiated with the illumination light 6b to detect a surface defect of the tested object 40 is visually observable by an observer 49. A wavelength distribution of the illumination light 6b is corrected so that the light intensity is substantially constant with respect to the wavelength sensitivity characteristics of the human eye. In accordance with the present invention, in a case of inspecting a tested object formed with a multi-layer film, even with a difference in film thickness in lower layers, unevenness in brightness or color of the surface hardly occurs, whereby it is possible to improve the detection accuracy of defects.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved system for identifying defects in a composite structure by providing a light source such that defects, and in particular dark defects on a dark background and/or light defects on a light background, can be identified by capturing images of the illuminated composite structure. In particular, the improved system for identifying defects in a composite structure may provide a reflective surface, dispersion elements, and multiple and/or moveable light source(s) and/or camera(s) in order to ensure that the most accurate images of any area of the composite structure, even curved or contoured areas, are captured and processed. As a result, the system of the present invention permits the operator to quickly identify and correct defects which would otherwise create structural flaws or inconsistencies that may affect the integrity of the composite structure.
