How does the BioPhotonic Scanner work?
BioPhonotic technology is a new advancement in laser technology and is made possible by applying optics concepts to the investigation of living human tissues. In the Biophotonic scanner we use the fact that essentially, each species of molecules in the body can generate a different set of colors of light when stimulated with a laser beam. Therefore this color spectrum is a unique optical fingerprint of a particular molecule species. The instrument uses a blue laser with a wavelength of 473 nm. When this laser hits a carotenoid molecule, a unique fingerprint spectrum with a prominent peak at 510 nm is generated by the carotenoid molecules. The green light is emitted out of the skin and captured by a highly sensitive light detector.
