The present invention relates to a health checker using a biophoton, and more particularly, to a health checker using a biophoton for diagnosing the health state of the test object by detecting and analyzing the number of biophotons of the biolight emitted from the test object.

The organism spontaneously emits bio light in the visible region without external stimulation, and it is reported that the biophoton of the emitted bio light is closely related to the metabolism of the organism.

This study of biophotons began in the early 1920s when Russian scientist A. Gurwitsch discussed the issue of how tissues communicate and transform information about the size and shape of different organs. It is also hypothesized that release is due to internal biochemical reactions related to the oxidative metabolic process of the organism or due to the generation of free radicals and the activity of enzymes.

Therefore, the link between the biolight and the metabolism of the organism has not been accurately identified, but the emission of the biolight from the organism is closely related to the physiological or pathological state of the organism, and the change in the number of biophotons Experts in the life sciences think it contains important information about changes in health status.

In general, photomultiplier tubes, which are photodetectors, are used to measure biophotons. This is a device used to detect light in the vicinity of visible light. In addition, it is an electron tube that amplifies the minute photoelectron flow by using a phenomenon in which energy is applied to electrons in a solid to cause new electrons to protrude from the surface of the solid, that is, secondary electron emission.

With reference to the drawings with respect to the health diagnostic device using a biophoton emitted from a predetermined test object by using such a photomultiplier tube.

 1 is a configuration diagram schematically showing a health diagnostic device using a biophoton according to the prior art, Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the photomultiplier tube shown in FIG.

1 and 2, the health diagnostic apparatus 100 using biophotons includes an optoelectronic device in which a negative photoelectric surface 102b, a positive photoelectric surface 102c, and a plurality of die nodes 102d are disposed inside a vacuum tube 102a. The multiplier tube 102, the cooling tube 103 surrounding and cooling the photomultiplier tube 102, and the secondary electrons 102h generated in the photomultiplier tube 102 surrounding the cooling tube 103 are It includes a magnetic shield 104 to induce movement to the positive photoelectric surface 102c, and a data processing unit 105 for diagnosing a health state by receiving and analyzing the electrical signal generated from the photomultiplier tube 102.

A method of multiplying the number of biophotons 102g of biolight in the photomultiplier tube 102 of the health diagnostic device 100 using the biophotons having such a configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

First, the photomultiplier tube 102 is composed of a vacuum tube 102a, and when the biophoton (photoelectron) 102g of biolight collides inside the incident surface 102e of the vacuum tube 102a, the secondary electron 102h is emitted. The cathode photoelectric surface 102b is arrange | positioned, and the anode photoelectric surface 102c is arrange | positioned at the opposing side surface 102f of the incident surface 102e. In addition, between the cathode photoelectric surface 102b and the anode photoelectric surface 102c, a plurality of stages of die nodes 102d having a good emission rate of secondary electrons 102h such as Cs-Sb, Cs-CsO-Ag, or MgO are disposed. have.

Thus, when the biophoton 102g of the bio-light emitted from the measurement target object 101 of the inspection object is incident on the vacuum tube 102a, the biophoton 102g and the negative photoelectric surface 102b The secondary electrons 102h are emitted by the collision of, and the emitted secondary electrons 102h collide with the plurality of die nodes 102d and multiply about 10 ⁶ times before going to the anode photoelectric surface 102c. Therefore, the multiplied secondary electrons 102h are output as an electric signal through the anode photoelectric surface 102c and are transferred to the data processor 105.

At this time, the photomultiplier tube 102 is a cooling tube by the predetermined cooling water flows through the cooling water inlet 103a disposed at the lower end of the cooling tube 103 and circulates inside and is discharged through the cooling water outlet 103b. The internal temperature of the 103 is maintained at a predetermined temperature, and the secondary electrons 102h emitted from the cathode photoelectric surface 102b are formed by the plurality of die nodes 102c by the magnetic shield 104 surrounding the cooling tube 103. After the collision, the movement path is directed to the anode photoelectric surface 102c without being affected by the external electromagnetic field.

Thus, the data processor 105 measures the number of biophotons 102g through the electrical signal received from the photomultiplier tube 102.

As such, the medical diagnostic apparatus 100 using the biophoton according to the related art measures the number of the biophotons 102g before and after the treatment of the test object, thereby securing data on the health state change of the test object, and comparing and analyzing the same. It is to measure changes in the health status of the test object.

However, since the intensity of the bio-light itself emitted from the measurement site 101 is weak, the number of secondary electrons 102h emitted from the cathode photoelectric surface 102b by the bio-photon 102g of the bio-light is small. Therefore, the electrical signal detected from the photomultiplier tube is weak, so that it is difficult to obtain data on the health state according to the change in the number of the biophotons 102g of the bio-light emitted from the measurement target 101, and thus the change in the health state of the test object. The reliability of medical examinations for these will be reduced.

Therefore, due to the inaccurate measurement of the number of biophotons of the current test object, the practical use of the health diagnostic device using the biophotons remains in an initial state.

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a health diagnostic device using biophotons that can increase the intensity of the bio-light used as data on the health state of the test object, the accurate measurement of the number of bio-photons.

The present invention is a health diagnostic device using a biophoton for diagnosing a state of health by analyzing the bio-light emitted from the test object, the bio-photon of the bio-light when the bio-light emitted from the measurement site of the test object is incident through a predetermined movement path Photomultiplier tube (PMT) which multiplies the number and detects it as an electrical signal, and is arranged on the movement path between the measurement site and the photomultiplier tube to collect bio-light at a predetermined position in the photomultiplier tube.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the biopsy photonicator 300 amplifies the intensity of the biophoton 302g of the biolight and outputs it as an electric signal when the biolight is incident inside the vacuum tube 302a. 302, a condenser 306 disposed between the measurement target portion 301 of the inspection object and the photomultiplier tube 302 to condense a living light to a predetermined position in the photomultiplier tube 302, and a photomultiplier tube It is disposed between the 302 and the light collecting portion 306 and connected to the filter unit 308, and the photomultiplier tube 302 to pass only the bio-light having a predetermined wavelength range of the biological light from the light collecting unit 306 And a data processor 305 for analyzing the electrical signal transmitted from the photomultiplier tube 302 and displaying data on the state of health.

As described above, the photomultiplier tube 302 has a cathode photoelectric surface 302b disposed inside the incident surface 302e of the vacuum tube 302a, and has an anode on the opposite side surface 302f facing the incident surface 302e. The photoelectric surface 302c is arrange | positioned. A plurality of die nodes 302d are disposed between the cathode photoelectric surface 302b and the anode photoelectric surface 302c. Then, the photomultiplier tube 302 is surrounded by the cooling tube 303, the secondary tube 302h generated in the photomultiplier tube 302 is an external field to the anode photoelectric surface 302c. It is surrounded by a magnetic shield 304 that allows it to be moved without interference from the electromagnetic field. Here, the cooling pipe 303 is for cooling the photomultiplier pipe 302, the cooling water inlet 303a for introducing the cooling water and the cooling water outlet 303b for discharging the cooling water after circulating the coolant is disposed at the inner bottom have. Here, the cooling water suppresses the generation of noise of the electrical signal detected from the photomultiplier tube 302.

The condenser 306 includes a predetermined optical system for condensing the living light emitted from the measurement target 301 to a predetermined position in the photomultiplier tube 302. Here, it is preferable that the light collecting part 306 is provided with at least one lens in the barrel 306a, and the inner surface of the barrel 306a preferably includes a reflecting surface (not shown) at least partially reflecting light. .

That is, referring to FIG. 4, the condenser 306 is provided with two convex lenses 306b and 306c in the barrel 306a having a predetermined diameter. Therefore, when the bio-light emitted from the measurement target 301 is incident into the barrel 306a, the bio-light is collected while passing through the first convex lens 306b, and again passes through the second convex lens 306c. The light is focused to have a predetermined beam diameter. Therefore, the beam diameter of the bio-light emitted from the measurement target 301 is made smaller than the diameter of the incident surface 302e of the vacuum tube 302a of the photomultiplier 302, thereby being lost when the photomultiplier 302 is incident on the bio-light. The amount is reduced. Here, it is preferable that the first convex lens 306b and the second convex lens 306c are coated lenses coated with one or more layers of a predetermined material that suppresses the reflection of the living light.

The filter unit 308 forms a plurality of filters 308b that pass only bio-light having different wavelength ranges on the rotatable filter mounting plate 308a at predetermined intervals on the edge side of the filter mounting plate 308a. It is arranged. Accordingly, the filter unit 308 rotates the filter mounting plate 308a so that one filter 308b is placed on the incident surface of the photomultiplier tube 302, thereby predetermining a predetermined portion of the living light emitted from the light collecting unit 306. Only the bio-light 302g having the wavelength region of the light passes through one filter 308b and is incident into the vacuum tube 302a of the photomultiplier tube 302.

The data processing unit 305 not only supplies a voltage to the die node 302d disposed in the vacuum tube 302a of the photomultiplier tube 302, but is also electrically connected to the positive photoelectric surface 302c and thus the positive photoelectric surface 302c. Secondary electrons that arrive at are detected as electrical signals. Accordingly, the data processing unit 305 secures data on the health state of the object to be inspected by performing data processing for each wavelength band through the electrical signal detected from the photomultiplier tube 302. Here, the data processing unit 305 is a database for accumulating the data obtained through the electrical signal detected from the photomultiplier pipe 302 for the test subjects, such as normal people and various diseases (pre- and post-treatment) (Database; DB It is preferred to include a device.

On the other hand, between the light collecting unit 306 and the filter unit 308 is preferably provided with an aperture 307 to control the amount of bio-light emitted from the measurement site 301 and to limit the inspection site. Thus, since the health state of a part of the test object can be diagnosed, a local diagnosis is possible.

Looking at the change in the number of biophotons before and after the treatment of the test object measured by the health diagnostic device 300 using the biophotons according to the present invention having such a configuration as follows.

5A is a graph showing the number of biophotons before treatment of the test object, and FIG. 6B is a graph showing the number of biophotons after treatment of the test object. In FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B, the x-axis shows wavelengths and the y-axis shows relative values of the number of biophotons. As can be seen from the figure, the wavelength range of the measurement target is 350 to 700 nm.

5A and 5B, it can be seen that the number of biophotons measured for each wavelength band before and after treatment of the test object is changed. In particular, biophotons were not measured in the wavelength band of 400 nm or less before treatment, while relatively many biophotons were measured in 400 nm after treatment, and the relative number of biophotons in each wavelength band was also changed. Accordingly, by measuring the biophoton of the bio-light of the test object, the physiological change before and after the treatment can be known, and the measurement is made for each wavelength band, thereby enabling accurate diagnosis.

As described above, unlike the health diagnostic apparatus using the biophoton according to the prior art (100 of FIG. 1), the health diagnostic apparatus 300 using the biophoton condenses the biolight to a predetermined portion in the photomultiplier tube 302. By arranging the light collecting portion 306 and the filter portion 308 for passing the collected biological light for each wavelength band, the intensity of the biological light incident into the photomultiplier tube is increased.

Therefore, since the intensity of the electric signal according to the number of biophotons detected from the photomultiplier tube is increased, it is easy to obtain data on the health state according to the change of the number of biophotons, and accordingly, Reliability is increased.

In addition, the data processor 305 measures the number of biophotons for each wavelength band of the biolight emitted from the measurement target 301 of the test object, and compares the data before and after treatment of the test object, thereby precisely analyzing the health state of the test object. Diagnosis becomes possible.

In the above, for example, the filter unit is located between the light collecting unit and the photomultiplier tube, but the filter unit may be positioned between the light collecting unit and the photomultiplier tube.

As described above, the health diagnostic apparatus using the biophoton according to the present invention is disposed between the object to be examined and the photomultiplier tube and the filter unit, not only increases the intensity of the bio-light incident to the photomultiplier tube, The bio-light measurement by wavelength band becomes possible.

Therefore, the health diagnostic apparatus using the biophoton according to the present invention increases the intensity of the bio-light than the health diagnostic apparatus using the biophoton according to the prior art, thereby increasing the intensity of the electric signal according to the number of biophotons detected from the photomultiplier tube, As a result, the reliability of the medical examination increases according to the metabolic changes of the test object.

In addition, by measuring and analyzing the number of biophotons of the incident light by the wavelength band before and after the treatment of the test object, accurate health diagnosis can be made.

On the other hand, the medical diagnostic device using a biophoton according to the present invention is further provided with a stop between the condenser and the filter unit, it is possible to make a local medical examination of the test object.
