Abstract:
An apparatus for turbid sample measurement comprising a plurality of light sources for illuminating a turbid sample target area with non-spatial structured light, a projection system for illuminating the turbid sample target area with spatial structured light, a sensor for collecting light from the turbid sample target area, and a processor to analyze the data captured by the sensor to yield scattering and absorption coefficients of the turbid sample. A method comprises illuminating the sample with spatial structured light, collecting light reflected from the sample at a number of wavelengths, illuminating the sample with non-spatial structured light, collecting light reflected from the sample at a number of wavelengths, and combining the measurements of the collected light to obtain the optical properties of the sample and/or the concentration of absorbing or fluorescent molecules. The wavelengths of the spatial and non-spatial light sources are preferably different.

Claim (Index 2):
A method for the measurement of a turbid sample comprising the steps of\n illuminating a target area of a turbid sample with spatially structured light, collecting light reflected from the turbid sample to obtain the remitted light of the sample at a number of wavelengths, \u03bb j , illuminating the target area of the turbid sample with non-spatially structured light, collecting light reflected from the sample to obtain the remitted light of the sample at a number of wavelengths, \u03bb k , and combining the obtained measurements from light having spatial structure and light not having spatial structure to obtain fit parameters, wherein the fit parameters include one or more of the optical properties of the turbid sample at a number of wavelengths, \u03bb, and the concentration of absorbing or fluorescent molecules.
