    Abstract: Provided are a system and a method for in vivo detection of adipose tissue browning. The system includes a fiber probe configured to illuminate light on an adipose tissue site; a spectrometer configured to obtain diffuse reflectance spectrum information from the adipose tissue site; a chromophore measure determining module configured to determine a fraction of lipid chromophore with respect to lipid chromophore and water chromophore based on spectrally unmixing the diffuse reflectance spectrum information in a region of 1050 nm to 1400 nm; and a browning detector module configured to detect adipose tissue browning based on the fraction determined above.

    Abstract: Provided is an optical probe, and a Raman spectroscopy system using such, including excitation and detection optics coupled to a sampling optics via a beam splitter, in confocal arrangement with a sample focal plane of the sampling optics. The detection optics is arranged to receive Raman signal from the sample focal plane and direct it onto a tip of a detection optical fiber. The optical probe may further include a positioning device mechanically coupled to the sampling optics and configured to control a position of the sample focal plane. In the Raman spectroscopy system a light source is coupled to the excitation optics via an excitation optical fiber, and a spectrometer is coupled to a detection optics via a detection optical fiber. Provided is further a method for measuring Raman signal depth profile in a sample, wherein sample's Raman spectra is measured and stored at different focal plane positions.
