Analyzing reflectance spectra of human skin in legal medicine.

abstract：:The present report addresses the application of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon for urea sensing. The former promises a high sensitivity, label-free detection, and real-time information by monitoring the refractive index change at the metal–dielectric interface. In the present report, a highly sensitive ure...
