Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesNON-INVASIVE OPTICAL METHOD FOR EPIDERMAL THICKNESS ESTIMATIONAdrian Pena, Miguel Arronte, Eduardo De Posada et al.A non-invasive method to determine epidermal thickness from the intensity of transmitted visible light is proposed. A simple model for passing light through the epidermis layers, then measuring what is transmitted back out of the surface, is implemented by using the Montecarlo method. Simulations revealed that the transmittance is linearly dependent on the thickness of the epidermis and so demonstrated … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 25 Jun 2014 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEr: YAG Laser Device for Taking Blood SamplesJosé L. Cabrera, Luis Ponce, Miguel Arronte et al.Problem statement: Secure methods for blood sampling which is performed at present by metallic lancets, has been a concern in the modern medicine in order to diminish the risk of contamination. A novel solution has appeared recently and consists in the use of laser pulses which ablates a tiny hole in skin. Approach: A laser device with Er: YAG active … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,179 accessesView PDFCite
