Summary Background and Purpose Although cutaneous autofluorescence has been utilized
for evaluation of skin conditions, there is a paucity of data on normal human skin …

Cutaneous autofluorescence properties were systematically studied using fluorescence
excitation emission matrix spectroscopy. Twenty-six healthy subjects with a mean age of 34 …

Background/aims: The autofluorescence spectrum of skin consists of a number of
overlapping single spectra emitted by fluorescent molecules. The overlapping makes it …

Skin autofluorescence was observed as early as 1908. Its applications in dermatology was
first reported in 1925-the use of Wood's lamp for the detection of fungal infection. In the first …

To improve the understanding of human skin autofluorescence emission, the spectroscopic
and microscopic characteristics of skin autofluorescence were studied using a combined …

The spectroscopic and microscopic characteristics of skin tissue autofluorescence emission
were studied using a combined fluorescence and reflectance spectroanalyzer and a fiber …

Cutaneous fluorescence depends both on the excitation and emission wavelengths [1-4]. A
number of endogenous skin fluorophores have been identified, including tryptophan …

Detection of autofluorescence at the skin surface is highly influenced by melanin and
hemoglobin. Epidermal absorption and scattering may also be an influencing factor and is …

A setup to measure skin autofluorescence was developed to assess accumulation of
advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) in patients noninvasively. The method applies direct …

The body-site variation of skin autofluorescence was monitored in vivo in order to
characterize individual contributions to the overall signal. Body sites having a range of …
