First Claim
1. A method of in vivo assaying for a presence of selected constituents in bloodstreams in circulatory system passageways in mammalian bodies having relatively small electromagnetic radiation absorption in at least one transmission wavelength range for transmissions of electromagnetic radiation between such passageways and outer surfaces of corresponding bodily skin, said method comprising:
- introducing in a said bloodstream a probe comprising a binding base capable of binding to at least one of said selected constituents and of also concurrently conjugating to two different fluorophores of which one has an emission spectra peak distribution in said transmission wavelength range that overlaps an absorption spectra peak distribution of that one remaining, radiating at least some of said passageways, thereby forming evaluative radiated passageways, from at least one location on said outer surfaces of said corresponding skin with evaluation electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths in said transmission wavelength range and also in an absorption spectra range of that said fluorophore having an overlapping emission spectra peak distribution, and detecting electromagnetic radiation at least at one location on said outer surfaces of said corresponding skin that has been transmitted from said evaluative radiated passageways of wavelengths in said transmission wavelength range and also in an emission spectra range of that said fluorophore having an overlapping absorption spectra peak distribution wherein said emission spectra range differs from said overlapping emission spectra peak distribution.

Abstract
A method of, and system for, assaying for selected constituents in liquid mixtures confined by corresponding containing structures having relatively small electromagnetic absorption in at least one transmission wavelength range for transmissions of electromagnetic radiation therethrough, including in vivo assaying for a presence of selected constituents in bloodstreams in circulatory system passageways in mammalian bodies having relatively small electromagnetic radiation absorption in at least one transmission wavelength range for transmissions of electromagnetic radiation between such passageways and outer surfaces of corresponding bodily skin, based on, in the bloodstream example, introducing in a bloodstream a probe comprising a binding base capable of binding to at least one of the selected constituents and of also concurrently conjugating to two different fluorophores of which one has an emission spectra peak distribution in the transmission wavelength range that overlaps an absorption spectra peak distribution of that one remaining. Radiate at least some of the passageways from at least one location on the outer surfaces of the corresponding skin with electromagnetic radiation of wavelengths in the transmission wavelength range and also in an absorption spectra range of that fluorophore having an overlapping emission spectra peak distribution. Detect electromagnetic radiation at least at one location on the outer surfaces of the corresponding skin that has been transmitted from the evaluative radiated passageways of wavelengths in the transmission wavelength range and also in an emission spectra range of that fluorophore having an overlapping absorption spectra peak distribution wherein the emission spectra range differs from the overlapping emission spectra peak distribution.
