Imaging system and associated method for detection of protein contamination

摘要: An imaging system (10) and associated method for detection of protein contamination on a surgical instrument (100) that has been treated with fluorescing stain, wherein fluorophors in the stain are capable emitting light an emitted type when both excited by excitation contact provided. The comprises tight chamber (14) receiving (100). Inside visible sources (20) (22) respectively illuminating light. A digital camera (30) is able to capture first image as illuminated light, second image, patterns fluorescence produced corresponding contamination. images combined produce composite highlighting areas Associated software can be used analyse so determine level
