Examination apparatus
First Claim
1. An examination apparatus for examining an object composed of tissue employing transmission photometry, comprising:
- light launching means for successively launching an incidence light beam to said object composed of tissue, said incidence light beam having a predetermined wavelength, and said light launching means comprising means for cyclically launching incidence light beams to said object at a plurality of incidence sites;
means, comprising a plurality of light-receiving means positioned at least adjacent a plurality of output sites, for picking up, in synchronism with each successive launching of said incidence light beam, light beams of said predetermined wavelength scattered in said object from said plurality of output sites as light intensity data, and for performing mathematical processing on said light intensity data for each successive launching of said incidence light beam to obtain absorption data representing a light absorption quantity at said incidence site;
wherein said means for picking up light beams and for mathematical processing picks up, in synchronism with each launching of said incidence light beam at any incidence site, said light beams scattered in said object from said plurality of output sites as said light intensity data, and performs said mathematical processing on said light intensity data for each launching of said incidence light beam at any incidence site to obtain total absorption data representing light absorption quantities at said plurality of incidence sites; and
wherein said means for performing mathematical processing adds said light intensity data picked up from said plurality of output sites.

Abstract
An examination apparatus for examining with transmission photometry an object of interest. The apparatus comprises: light launching means for successively launching an incidence light beam to the object at an incidence site; and light pickup means for picking up, in synchronism with launching of the incidence light beam, light beams scattered in the object from a plurality of output sites as light intensity data, and performing mathematical processing on the light intensity data for every launching of said incidence light beam to obtain absorption data representing a light absorption quantity at the incidence site.
