title: [Behavior of the human skin under the influence of electromagnetic radiation in the visible and near infrared region (author's transl)].
abstract: In legal medicine and also in other fields of medicine a unique characterization of the optical parameters of biological objects is often necessary. In this paper a method for the description of such probes is presented. The range of wavelength considered is the 400 nm... 1100 nm part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The method is based on the determination of reflection-, transmission and extinction-coefficients. The importance of scattering in the case of nonhomogenous, anisotropic biological matter is stressed.
