Abstract: L'invention se rapporte à des instruments et à des procédures permettant de déterminer, in vivo, de manière non invasive, le sexe de sujets humains ou animaux, que l'on a mis au point en se fondant sur l'irradiation du tissu cutané avec un rayonnement dans le proche infrarouge. Ledit procédé de détermination du sexe apporte des informations supplémentaires relatives à des sources primaires de variabilité systématique des tissus, à savoir, l'épaisseur du derme et du tissu adipeux sous-cutané. Cette détermination permet par conséquent une catégorisation des sujets, puis une analyse spectrale et la mesure de composés chimiques et biologiques, tels que des analytes sanguins.
