Received 27 August 2011; revised 1 February 2012; accepted 1 March 2012

A new portable non-invasive prototype device for skin autofluorescence photobleaching measurements under a 532 nm laser excitation has been developed and clinically tested. The details of the equipment are described along with some measurement results illustrating the potentiality of the technology. Overall, 51 malformations of human skin were investigated by the device.

Sukurtas ir kliniškai išbandytas naujas prototipinis nešiojamas neinvazinis įrenginys, skirtas odos autofluorescenciniam fotoišbalinimui matuoti, naudojant 532 nm lazerio žadinimą. Pateiktas smulkus įrangos aprašas ir kai kurie matavimo rezultatai, iliustruojantys šio būdo galimybes. Iš viso šiuo prietaisu ištirtas 51 žmogaus odos probleminis darinys.
