An equipment includes an excitation source (1), elements for injecting (2)
an excitation signal produced by the source in an ordered bundle (3) of
flexible optical fibers, elements for analyzing (21, 22) an emitted
autofluorescence signal. The equipment also includes at the output of the
optical fiber bundle (3) an optical head (4) designed to be placed in
contact with the biological tissue (6), the optical head being equipped
with optical elements adapted to cause the excitation signal output from
the bundle (3) to converge into a subsurface analyzing zone (5), the same
optical fiber(s) used for excitation of the bundle (3) being used for
detecting the signal emitted by the subsurface analyzing zone, elements
(D) placed upstream of the injection elements (2) being further provided
to separate the wavelength of the excitation signal and the wavelength of
the autofluorescence signal.
