Angular Photometry of Biological Tissue by Ellipsoidal Reflector Method

Angular measurements in optics of biological tissues are used for different applied spectroscopic task for roughness surface control, define of refractive index and for research of optical properties. Purpose of the research is investigation of the reflectance of biologic tissues by the ellipsoidal reflector method under the variable angle of the incident radiation.

The research investigates functional features of improved photometry method by ellipsoidal reflectors. The photometric setup with mirror ellipsoid of revolution in reflected light was developed. Theoretical foundations of the design of an ellipsoidal reflector with a specific slot to ensure the input of laser radiation into the object area were presented. Analytical solution for calculating the angles range of incident radiation depending on the eccentricity and focal parameter of the ellipsoid are obtained. Also created the scheme of image processing at angular photometry by ellipsoidal reflector.

The research represents results of experimental series for samples of muscle tissues at wavelengths 405 nm, 532 nm, 650 nm. During experiment there were received photometric images on the equipment with such parameters: laser beam incident angles range 12.5–62.5°, ellipsoidal reflector eccentricity 0.6, focal parameter 18 mm, slot width 8 mm.

The nature of light scattering by muscle tissues at different wavelengths was represented by graphs for the collimated reflection area. The investigated method allows qualitative estimation of influence of internal or surface layers of biologic tissues optical properties on the light scattering under variable angles of incident radiation by the shape of zone of incident light.
