ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for contact-free imaging and measuring of a selected portion of the skin of a patient has a camera which is mounted on a support. The support is mounted on a holder so that it can move in the direction of as well as that it can turn about the optical axis of the camera. An annular light source on the support surrounds the objective of the camera, and the support is connected with an arcuate carrier of one, two or more additional light sources serving to illuminate that portion of the skin which is to be imaged by the camera. The latter can be connected to an electronic evaluating system including a computer, a video camera and/or a monitor which displays the images of the selected portion of the skin. The light source or sources on the carrier are adjustable relative to the carrier and relative to the selected portion of the skin, and the carrier is adjustable with reference to the support along an arcuate path. The carrier is provided with mechanisms and/or instruments for adjusting the intensity, direction, color and/or other characteristics of light which is emitted by the light source or sources on the carrier. The positions of the support, carrier and light sources are recorded for later use and/or for perusal by persons other than the person in charge of imaging the selected portion of the skin.
