Abstract

A device for determining size variations of tissue particles. The device includes a light source and an illuminating light guide capable of irradiating light into a human tissue to produce back-scattered light, and at least two receiving light guides at different radial distances from the illuminating light guide, for receiving back-scattered light from the tissue. The device can be used for determining size variations of tissue particles such as mitochondria.
