Project description

The probe introduces whote light and laser light. The white light interacts with the erythrocytes and assumes the colour of the haemoglobin. This colourchange is a measurement the oxygen saturation. The laser light experiences a frequency displacement if it falls on erythrocytes. This displacement is a measurement for the velocity of erythrocytes. Both measurements determine blood flow.
