Detection probe for optical spectroscopy and spectrometry
First Claim
1. A detection probe for optical spectroscopy or spectrometry in tissue, with optical fibers (1,2), at least one fiber (1) introducing light into the tissue (4) and other fibers (2) receiving backscattered light, characterized in that a plurality of reflecting deflecting devices are provided for the light, the transfer of light from one reflecting deflecting device to the next being prevented by the arrangement of one or more optical separating devices (12).

Abstract
The invention relates to a detection probe for spectroscopy and/or spectrometry in tissue (4) with the aid of optical fibers (1,2). At least one fiber (2) transmits light into the tissue (4) and other fibers (2) receive backscattered light. According to the invention, deflection devices (mirrors 6, fibers 7, prisms 9,10,11) are provided for the light, whereby the inventive probe is substantially flatter and easier to handle.
