4. Projects for a recent Customer
We were tasked with packaging and integration of laboratory instruments and/or designing
new instruments by a customer in the skin care product industry. The skin measurement
instruments we have been involved with over the past 2+ years are:
• Diffuse Reflectance Spectrometer (DRS) - Visible light reflectance/absorption
• Compact Diffuse Reflectance Spectrometer (CDRS)
• Fast Diffuse Reflectance Spectrometer (FDRS)
• Spectrofluorometer (SFM) - Fluorescence by exciting the skin in one wavelength
and measuring the resulting fluorescence in a different wavelength
• Skin Displacement Instrument (SDI) - Skin softness by blowing air on the skin and
measuring the displacement with a laser measuring system
• Reviscometer (RVM) - Speed of sound through skin
• Dielectric Properties of Skin (DPSI) - Skin resistance
• Macro Skin Fluorescence Imaging Probe (MSFIP) – Fluorescence microscope
• Multichannel Clinical Imaging System (MCCIS) - Facial DRS
PSI designed, assembled, modified and tested the systems in house.

8. CDRS (Compact Diffuse Reflectance Spectrometer) Optical Funnel version
Software: Uses the public domain DRS Algorithm to calculate Oxy Hb, Deoxy Hb, Melanin
and Scattering using the 4 LEDs. Software operates by turning each of the LED’s on in
sequence then recording the reflected spectra with an off the shelf DAQ module. Data is
recorded to a text file.

9. FDRS (Fast Diffuse Reflectance Spectrometer)
This instrument is comprised of a Princeton Instruments spectrometer and can acquire spectra at
~100 frames per second. In addition to performing the same calculations as a DRS, the higher
speed acquisition can also detect lymphatic oscillations occurring at ~10Hz. This project
consisted mainly of customizing software developed for the Spectrofluorometer.

10. SFM (Spectrofluorometer)
This system is used to measure fluorescence of the skin, and is comprised of a
monochromator, spectrometer, 2 filter wheels and a Xenon Light source. The project involved
packaging and some software modifications in LabVIEW.

11. RVM (Reviscometer)
3D Frame
This project is a modification to an existing instrument
made by Courage + Khazaka electronic GmbH. This
probe uses 2 Piezo transducers, one as a transmitter and
the other as a receiver, in order to measure the speed of
sound through the skin. The original instrument required
the user to manually move the probe. PSI automated the
system by putting the probe in a housing with motors to
provide the required movements.

13. DPSI (Dielectric Properties of Skin Instrument)
A lab instrument for
development of customized
sequence steps for VI
characterization of the skin.
Sequences can produce
ramp up, ramp down, or DC
voltages.
The left plot is an Up / Down
ramp demonstrating
characteristic hysteresis of
the skin. The right plot is a
Hysteresis plot DC Step test 1V – 0V using
a test probe with a 500KΩ
resistor and a .1uF capacitor
in series.
This device uses a lab power
supply, capable of delivering
200V at >50mA, therefore a
protective interface was
designed to trip if current or
voltage exceed safe levels.

14. MSFIP (Macro Skin Fluorescence Imaging Probe)
This project uses 3 Visible Lasers and a quartz Halogen visible light source along with a filter
Wheel, shutter, and video camera. Laser beams are confined in fiber optic cables and are
routed through an optical switch. An interface board was designed to control the functions of
the devices and to provide a Watch Dog Timer for safe laser operation.

20. FLEET (Femtosecond Laser Electronic Excitation Tagging)
This project involves a collaboration with Princeton University (http://www.princeton.edu/mae/ )
Femtosecond Laser Electronic Excitation Tagging (FLEET). This method of tagging the
exhaust stream of a jet engine requires no seeding of the gas flow. The laser induced
fluorescence is imaged downstream, and the distortion of the laser line can be used to find the
velocity profile of the flow. Our fast camera technology is used to provide multiple downstream
images with a single data acquisition. Our website has some videos of other fast camera
applications. Measurement of turbulent structure in the exhaust of an F-35 for the study of
noise generation and control.

21. Astronomy Telescope Shutter Controller
Sci-in Tech (www.sciin.com) makes large
aperture photometric shutters for use in
astronomy. These shutters are in use at
various telescopes around the world. An
embedded micro-controller provides the
triggering and timing control to the motors
that drive the shutter blades. See the
website for more information.
