Depth of penetration of the polarized light of the Biostimul biolamp into the tissue

Experimental results of the study Ing. Igor Geyer and Ing. Jaroslav Oswald from the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic have shown that the polarized light from the red region of the light spectrum (626 mn) generated by the Biostimul biolamp penetrates the animal tissue deepest, up to 4.5 cm. Green (526 nm) and blue light (472 nm) also penetrated the tissue, but to lesser depths than the red light.

The depth of penetration of polarised light thus depends on the wavelength and the way it is generated. In this respect, red (626 nm) polarized light shows the best results (see figure below). The penetration of the light is dependent on the type of tissue we are illuminating. The experiment showed that tissue with a higher proportion of fat cells is more permeable than muscle, in which the light is more absorbed due to the high content of haemoglobin and water. On the basis of the measured results, it can be concluded that light with a spectral characteristic of 626 nm (+/- 18 nm) has, with regular applications, the best prerequisites to favorably influence physiological processes not only on the surface, but also in the tissue structures of the human body, up to a depth of 4.5 - 6 cm.
