SPECTROSCOPIC SYSTEM WITH DISPOSABLE CALIBRATION DEVICE

摘要

A disposable calibration device (45) is used to calibrate a measurement system (3) which transmits radiation (39) to a material or tissue (40) in order to effect measurements with a spectrometer (10). The disposable calibration device includes a structure with a window through which radiation (39) can be transmitted, as well as a removable calibration target (270) arranged on the window and capable of returning a portion of the radiation for calibrating the measurement system. The removable calibration target (270) can be peeled off of the window or the perimeter of an opening to allow a measurement to be made on the material or tissue (40). Once a measurement is complete, the disposable calibration device can be discarded and a new calibration device can be inserted on the measurement system.
