Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of observing biological tissue, the method comprising: collecting through a first end of a bundle of optical fibers light from a surface of the tissue; observing at least one image of the tissue at a second end of the bundle, while injecting light into the second end of the bundle to illuminate the surface of the tissue.

1-77. (canceled)
A method of observing biological tissue, the method comprising:
- collecting through a first end of a bundle of optical fibers light from a surface of the tissue;
- observing at least one image of the tissue at a second end of the bundle, while injecting light into the second end of the bundle to illuminate the surface of the tissue.
Skin-imaging apparatus comprising:
- a bundle of optical fibers having a first end for collecting light from a surface of a tissue;
- an injector system for injecting light into the bundle at a second end thereof;
- and
- an analyzer system for analyzing an image formed at the second end of the bundle.

A method of observing biological tissue, comprising:
- putting a first end of the fibers of a bundle of optical fibers into contact with a surface of the tissue, to observe an image at a second end of the fibers of the bundle.
A method of observing corneocyte comprising:
- illuminating at a first wavelength skin,
- observing an image of the corneocytes at a second wavelength different from the first, using a bundle of optical fibers, the image being observed at a second end of the bundle while the first end receives light from the skin.
