    摘要: Optical probes for medical applications are provided. The probe is devised so as to be able to be held in one hand. A basic version of the probe includes: a first excitation lighting source suitable for causing a fluorescence radiation of predetermined substances; a second visible lighting source, the first and the second source being devised so as to illuminate a common zone termed the intervention zone; a first photosensitive matrix sensor; and a second photosensitive matrix sensor. The first and second photosensitive matrix sensors are devised in such a way that, when the optical probe is arranged a predetermined distance from the intervention zone, the image in the visible spectrum of the said zone is formed on the photosensitive surface of the first matrix sensor and the image in the fluorescence spectrum of the said zone is formed on the photosensitive surface of the second sensor. A first variant of the probe includes only a single optical objective, a second variant only a single photosensitive matrix sensor, and a third variant makes it possible to work under polarized light.

    摘要: A first light source has a first wavelength corresponding to an excitation wavelength of a fluorophore. The excitation wavelength and an emission wavelength of the fluorophore delineate a predetermined interval. A second light source has a second wavelength offset with respect to the first wavelength so as to be outside said predetermined interval. The offset between the first and second wavelengths is comprised between 30 nm and 100 nm. A camera comprises a filter opaque to the first and second wavelengths and transparent to the emission wavelength and to wavelengths substantially higher than the higher of the first and second wavelengths. The light sources and camera are synchronized to alternately activate one of the light sources and make the camera alternately acquire a fluorescence image and a background noise image.
