FIBER OPTIC PROBE FOR QUANTIFICATION OF COLORIMETRIC REACTIONS

摘要

ABSTRACTA fiber optical probe for colorimetricmeasurement of chemical properties suitable for the inser-tion into living tissue. A chemical to be colorimetricallymeasured is introduced into a sample chamber on theside of the probe near the probe tip . A colori-metric substance contained in the sample chamberchanges colors in response to chemical properties of thechemical to be colorimetrically measured, thereby changingthe amount of light transmitted through the sample chamberby the optical fibers .
