DEVICE FOR STUDYING PHOTODYNAMIC IN VITRO ACTIVITY OF PHOTOSENSITIZERS Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: medical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device has transparent multi-cell culturing pallet and lamp-like light source with a set of cutting-out optical filters, which radiation illuminates the cells. An additional optical system is available creating convergent light bundle having non-uniform light bundle radiation power distribution in system focus over its cross-section and a bundle of light guides which input end face has tight light guide package and is set in the optical system focus of the light guide. The light guides are mounted on the output end under the culturing pallet in the direct proximity of cell bottoms so that every light guide is set in front of the center of the corresponding pallet cell. EFFECT: high reliability of study results; reduced time consumption; simplified procedures. 2 cl, 1 dwg
