    Abstract:
    We have designed, built and successfully tested a prototype portable and wireless near-infrared spectroscopy system. It takes forward the well-established series of NIRO spectroscopy instruments made by Hamamatsu Photonics (Hamamatsu City, Japan). It uses an identical optical probe, and has a data acquisition rate of 10 Hz. It illuminates the tissue with laser diode sources at 3 wavelengths of 775, 810 and 850 nm, and detects the reflected light with 2 silicon photodiode detectors at 2 different separations, enabling spatially resolved spectroscopy to be performed. We have tested it with both in vitro and in vivo experiments to establish its basic functionality for use in studies of both brain and muscle.
