ABSTRACT:
An optical thermodetector for in vivo testing of tissue is disclosed which has a housing including a case and a needle-like extension projecting therefrom, the extension having a sharp end for piercing the skin of a patient, a temperature element disposed within the housing and having indicating means responsive to a predetermined change in temperature, and an optical element disposed within the housing for recording coloration of tissue. The recording of coloration of tissue takes place as the extension is withdrawn from a depth within the skin of a patient. The recordation on film of the coloration of the tissue corresponds to the recordation of the temperature.
