RUVPhase™
The RUVPhase™ system is a fiber-optic UV fluorescence lifetime imaging endoscope suitable for the remote in-vivo endoscopic measurements of chemical and biological fluorescent markers including auto-fluorescence. It features a swept 1kHz to 500-MHz (50-µsec to 50-psec) frequency-domain “phase-locked” detection fluorescence lifetime spectrometer, UV visible laser diode excitation, and a UV-Visible spectrometer, and a fiber-optic image capture probe with 10-um spatial resolution.
