Abstract
A fluorometer includes a light source to generate excitatory light toward a tissue, the tissue generating fluorescent light in response to the excitatory light. The fluorometer also includes a light sensor to receive the fluorescent light and generate a digital signal. A processor is connected to the light sensor to receive the digital signal and generate a digital image, and a display displays the digital image. The tissue generates fluorescent light as a result of excitation of at least one intrinsic tissue metabolic product. A method for distinguishing between viable and non-viable tissue using the fluorometer also is described.
