Abstract
Measuring fluorescence within a zone on a surface of biological tissue uses a probe that comprises first and second sensors that are constituents of corresponding first and second optical systems and that are fixed relative to each other. The first sensor is configured to detect fluorescent light emitted at said surface and the second sensor detects visible light. The measurement includes projecting a mark onto the zone, and, based on a position of an image of the mark on the second sensor, localizing and locating fluorescence detected by the first sensor in an image of the zone. The image is produced in visible light. The mark is a light mark that is detectable by said second sensor.
