Abstract

The handheld equipment incorporates a lamp with a light guide (12), a collector lens (14) and a reflector (16) in a common housing (18). The light guide has a gradual taper over several centimetres for access to all relevant areas of the patient's mouth. The plano-convex lens is made of infrared-absorbent glass with its convex face turned towards the lamp and coated with an edge filter (36) by vapour deposition. This reflects and scatters infrared radiation of all wavelengths in excess of its cut-off value.
