Abstract
A system useful for in vivo and ex vivo spectroscopy comprises a water source connected to supply water through a passage to an outlet at a flow rate sufficient to issue a laminar water jet from the outlet, a light source operative to emit a light beam that is guided to a sample by the water jet, and an analysis unit connected to receive collected light that has been emitted from the sample into the water jet and operable to analyze the collected light. Some embodiments provide endoscopes with integrated light guides.
