ABSTRACT:
A diagnostic technique to histologically detect malignancy and other tissue properties is performed by pressing a solid tissue sample between a pair of planar parallel plates transparent to ultraviolet light to a fraction of the original thickness of the sample and by subsequently passing focused ultraviolet light therethrough. The ultraviolet light is passed transversely to the planar glass plates and the emerging angularly distributed light is analyzed to determine a dignity parameter of the sample containing diagnostic information. The dignity parameter is a unique, monotonous and continuous function of the relation of the forward scatter coefficient to the extinction coefficient of the compact portions of the tissue of the sample.
