    摘要: The present invention provides a spectroscopic system (100) for determining of a property of a biological structure in a volume of interest (120) of a person. The spectroscopic system (100) comprises a low cost objective lens (118) for directing an excitation beam into a volume of interest (120) and for collecting return radiation (124) from the volume of interest (120). After detection of the return radiation (124), i.e. the spectroscopic signals, a correction unit (106) performs the compensation of the aberrations of the spectroscopic signals introduced by the low cost objective lens (118). Since the aberrations of the objective lens (118) strongly depend on the lateral distance (122) of the volume of interest (120) from the optical axis (116) of the objective lens (118), the correction unit (106) makes effective use of a correction table (110) providing an assignment between correction values and various lateral positions (122) of the volume of interest (120).

    摘要: The present invention provides an autofocus mechanism for a spectroscopic system that is adapted to determine a property of a volume of interest. The volume of interest has an optical property that varies with time. The invention provides measurement means that are adapted to measure the fluctuations of the optical property of the volume of interest for determining the position of the volume of interest. The spectroscopic system being further adapted to focus an excitation beam into the determined volume of interest and for collecting return radiation emanating from the volume of interest for spectroscopic analysis. Preferably, inelastically scattered radiation of an excitation beam is separated from elastically scattered radiation for spectroscopic analysis. The elastically scattered radiation of the excitation beam is in turn exploited in order to measure the fluctuations of the optical property of the volume of interest. Making use of a control loop allows for maximization of the amplitude and/or intensity of the fluctuation inherently specifying the position of a volume of interest e.g. the center of a capillary vessel.

    摘要: The present invention provides a spectroscopic system and a transmission based imaging system for a spectroscopic system as well as a probe head for a transmission based imaging system for a spectroscopic system and a corresponding transmission based imaging method. The spectroscopic system is preferably applicable to in vivo noninvasive blood analysis. Transmission based imaging makes use of a transmitted portion of an imaging or monitoring beam that has been transmitted through biological tissue. By means of transmission based imaging, a contrast decreasing impact of scattered radiation can be effectively reduced. Additionally, by arranging the imaging light source opposite to an objective lens of the spectroscopic system, unintended propagation of spectroscopic excitation radiation into free space can be effectively prevented.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an analysis apparatus, in particular a spectroscopic analysis apparatus, for blood analysis on vessels. An excitation system (exs) emits an excitation beam to excite a target region. A detection system (dsy) is provided for detecting and analyzing scattered radiation from the target region. Those areas are selected or predetermined so that only scattered radiation from blood in capillaries having a diameter below a predetermined diameter value and/or including an amount of red blood cells below a predetermined cell amount is analyzed. Thus, in contrast to analysis on whole blood or large amounts of blood cells less reabsorption and scattering of Raman light due to red blood cells is obtained. Further, the possibility to directly measure in the blood plasma without interference of the red blood cells, thereby yielding a higher signal-to-noise ratio, is given.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an analysis apparatus, in particular a spectroscopic analysis apparatus, for analysing an object, such as the blood of a patient, and a corresponding analysis method. An excitation system (exs) emits an excitation beam (exb) to excite a target region and a beam separation unit (hm) separates at least part of elastically scattered radiation from inelastically scattered radiation, said scattered radiation being generated by the excitation beam (exb) at the target region. A monitoring system (lso) generates an image of the target region using the elastically scattered or the inelastically scattered radiation and defines a region of interest in said image. To increase efficiency of the recording of Raman spectra, a control unit (ctrl) is provided for controlling the excitation system (exs) such that the defined region of interest of the target region is excited and/or for controlling the detection system (dsy) such that only signals from the defined region of interest are detected, and a detection system (dsy) is provided for detecting scattered radiation from the defined region of interest generated by the excitation beam. Preferably the signal from the defined region of interest is averaged by distributing the laser excitation power over the defined region of interest area.
