<p>There is disclosed an apparatus for analysing bodily tissue comprising: means (10) for making clinically relevant measurements of said bodily tissue using at least two analysis techniques selected from the group comprising: photoacoustic analysis; fluorescence spectroscopy; Raman spectroscopy; near infra-red spectroscopy; optical confocal microscopy; and optical chromaticity; in which said means (10) for making clinically relevant measurements comprises a plurality of light sources (12, 14) which provide electromagnetic radiation used to perform the analysis techniques; and further comprising a light guiding system (16, 18) coupled to each of the light sources (12, 14) which channels electromagnetic radiation from each of the light sources to the bodily tissue under analysis substantially along a common pathway so that electromagnetic radiation from the light sources (12, 14) emerges from the light guiding system (16, 18) at a common point.</p> |
