Patent ID: 8730467

Claim:
Spectroscopic probe ( 2 ) for a device for analyzing ( 1 ) a sample (E) by spectroscopy, including: means ( 23 ) for illuminating the sample (E) to be analyzed with incident light; means ( 24 ; 24 ′) for collecting light re-emitted by the sample (E) under the action of the incident light; a contact surface ( 22 ) oriented towards the sample (E), at the level of which, or nearby which the means ( 23 ) for illuminating the sample and/or the means ( 24 ; 24 ′) for collecting the re-emitted light are located; wherein: the means ( 24 ; 24 ′) for collecting the light re-emitted by the sample (E) constitute at least one set ( 25 ; 25 ′) of said means ( 24 ; 24 ′) for collecting the re-emitted light; such a set ( 25 ; 25 ′) including a plurality of these means ( 24 a , 24 b , 24 c ; 24 ′ a , 24 ′ b , 24 ′ c ) for collecting the re-emitted light; each means of the plurality of these means ( 24 a , 24 b , 24 c ; 24 ′ a , 24 ′ b , 24 ′ c ) for collecting the re-emitted light being spaced apart from each other and at the same distance from the means ( 23 ) for illuminating the sample (E) or their barycenter; each means of the plurality of these means ( 24 a , 24 b , 24 c ; 24 ′ a , 24 ′ b , 24 ′ c ) for collecting the re-emitted light including one series ( 241 ; 241 ′) of optical fibers ( 240 ; 240 ′) formed of a plurality of optical fibers ( 240 ; 240 ′) which are juxtaposed.
