Title:
MULTIFUNCTIONAL PROBE FOR MEASURING SKIN PROPERTY
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009153728
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a probe for quickly and accurately measuring the skin color and sebum amount of the skin.

In the skin property measuring probe including a measuring end face provided on the end part of the probe, a light transmitting body disposed to the measuring end face, a skin sensor provided with an RGB radiation source and an RGB light receiver, and a sebum amount sensor provided with a near infrared radiation source and a near infrared light receiver, the radiation light from the RGB radiation source and the near infrared radiation source and the reflected light pass through the same light transmitting body. Thus, the skin color and the sebum amount for the same part of the skin can be almost simultaneously measured by one operation by a single probe. Also, by forming the lower surface of the light transmitting body in a planar shape and disposing it so as to form the same plane with the measuring end face, the more accurate skin color is measured without being affected by the shape of the skin.
