Short summary
A highly sensitive spectral camera for the judgement of cartilage quality, grown in a bioreactor using the methods of tissue engineering, is being developed. It is optimized to detect weak fluorescence signals of different collagen types, elastin and glycosaminoglycans in the spectral region of 380nm to 500nm. Tests with a one- and a two-dimensional version of the system prove that collagen I and II can be detected and discriminated by their different spectral distributions.
