Claim Text:
1. A device for the gas-discharge detection of malignant processes in living organisms, which comprises: an optically transparent electrode for generating an electric field, a dielectric, the dielectric being disposed on the optically transparent electrode and configured for electrical insulation of an object under examination, and a progressive-scan monochrome camera positioned below the optically transparent electrode, configured to generate continuous analog video signal to be sent to a computer for further processing; the dielectric comprising: a dark opaque elastic membrane, disposed on and contacting the object-imaging membrane to cover the object-imaging membrane and serving to absorb spurious light reflected from the object's surface, wherein such an arrangement of rigid and elastic dielectrics is effective for acquisition of reproducible and narrower spectrum gas-discharge imagery through filtering out a majority of diagnostically irrelevant, namely cancer-nonspecific spectral components, and preserving required spectral signals in vicinity of the object under examination; the electrode being configured to cause ionization and discharge in air surrounding the object under examination which is positioned upon the dark opaque elastic membrane and no gas is imprisoned in the plane of the dielectric.
