Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus are provided for the determination of levels of carotenoids and similar chemical compounds in biological tissue such as livi ng skin (34). The method and apparatus provide a noninvasive, rapid, accurate, and safe determination of carotenoid levels which in turn can provide diagnostic information regarding cancer risk, or can be a marker for conditions where carotenoids or other antioxidant compounds may provide diagnostic information.
