Detection probe for depth-resolved optical spectroscopy and spectrometry

摘要

The invention relates to a detection probe for spectroscopy and/or spectrometry in tissue (4) with the aid of optical fibers (1,2). At least one fiber (2) transmits light into the tissue (4) and other fibers (2) receive backscattered light. According to the invention, deflection devices (mirrors 6, fibers 7, prisms 9,10,11) are provided for the light, whereby the inventive probe is substantially flatter and easier to handle.
