The invention concerns a method and a device for non-invasive measurement of
a tissue and in particular of the skin bilirubin level. The inventive device is
characterized in that it comprises: a reading head (1) capable of sending
several flashes of various specific wavelengths towards the tissue (2) to
be examined and of receiving and measuring in return the reflected light; a calculator,
such as a microprocessor, capable of calculating for each wavelength the amount
of reflected light and bring it to a value calculated proportionally to a reference
value identical for a predetermined wavelength; and a comparator for comparing
the calculated value to a table of reference values.
