摘要：
A method for determining an autofluorescence value of skin tissue of a subject, comprising the steps of:irradiating material of said skin tissue with electromagnetic excitation radiation of at least one wavelength and/or in at least one range of wavelengthsmeasuring an amount of electromagnetic, fluorescent radiation emitted by said material in response to said irradiation andgenerating, based upon said measured amount of fluorescent radiation, a measured autofluorescence value for the concerning subject.The determined autofluorescence value is obtained by correcting the measured autofluorescence value for characteristics of a reflected part of an excitation spectrum and/or an emission spectrum from said material in response to such irradiation and/or for characteristics of reflectance measurements at wavelengths other than said at least one wavelength and/or other than in said at least one range of wavelengths, in such manner that the dependency of the determined autofluorescence value upon different UV-skin tissue reflectances, that different respective subjects may have, is minimized or at least diminished.
