An Infrared Absorbance Sensor for the Detection of Melanoma in Skin Biopsies

An Infrared Absorbance Sensor for the Detection of Melanoma in Skin Biopsies

An infrared (IR) absorbance sensor has been designed, realized and tested with the aim of detecting malignant melanomas in human skin biopsies. The sensor has been designed to obtain fast measurements (80 s) of a biopsy using a small light spot (0.5 mm in diameter, typically five to 10 times smaller...
