Abstract
This invention introduces a high accuracy fertility-no-fertility choice device for women. The device-indicator is based on precise examination of the saliva estrogen and for that purpose is used either linear or circular polarized light, plus quick spectral and contrast analysis. All features of the device are built in a special purpose individual mini microscope.
Claims4
A high accuracy, non intrusive fertility monitor for determining the fertility of women comprising:
- a hand held housing having a top and a bottom,
- a flat optical specimen glass insertable into the top of said housing,
- an eyepiece located at said top of said housing for viewing the specimen glass,
- a light source at the bottom of the housing,
- polarizing elements located between said light source and said specimen glass for polarizing the light before it reaches said specimen glass and consisting of a polarizing filter, an optical delay plate, and a spectral rotating sheet, and an analizing filter between the specimen glass and said eyepiece,
- wherein the polarized light provides improved optical analysis of estrogen crystals of dried saliva once placed on the specimen glass by making the crystals visible and shining on a black background for better determination of fertility.
