    This study introduces an analytical microscope system for measuring object size, motion, and light absorption. It enables precise calculations of microvessel diameter, red cell velocity, and hemoglobin oxygen saturation using fiber optics and computer programs.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Optical Microscopy
    • Physiological Measurement

    Background:

    • Microscopy is crucial for biological and medical research.
    • Accurate measurement of dynamic physiological parameters is essential for understanding cellular function.
    • Existing methods may lack the integrated capabilities for simultaneous size, motion, and absorption analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an integrated analytical system for microscopic measurements.
    • To enable quantitative analysis of microvessel characteristics and red blood cell dynamics.
    • To facilitate the computation of hemoglobin oxygen saturation from densitometric data.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a microscope equipped with fiber-optic probes for localized light intensity sampling.
