Abstract

The present invention is directed to a device for efficiently optically coupling an area of tissue to a spectroscope. The optical coupler preferably comprises a rigid partial enclosure having an inside wall that reflects electromagnetic radiation, an opening on the enclosure for the passage of light and one or more mirrors and light detector pairs. The coupler may be a component of a tissue spectroscopic system comprising one or more of the coupler, a spectroscope, and interface medium, a detector and a light source. The method involves detecting optical properties of a tissue and preferably the skin.
