Study of Optical properties of soft tissue by Optoacoustic Spectroscopy (CAT#: STEM-ST-0340-WXH)
Introduction
Soft tissues connect, support, and surround the different body organs. They can be found in most parts of the body. Soft tissues include fat, muscle, nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, tendons, and other fibrous tissues.
Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is the measurement of the effect of absorbed electromagnetic energy (particularly of light) on matter by means of acoustic detection. The absorbed energy from the light causes local heating and through thermal expansion a pressure wave or sound.
Applications
Detect and quantify chemical functional groups and thus chemical substances
