Abstract
Transillumination is understood as the phenomenon of transmitting optical radiation with defined parameters by an object, which becomes the carrier of information on the characteristic size of the object [1]–[7]. In case of biological objects the optical properties of systemic liquids and other tissues are utilized. Transillumination as a method of examination by passage of light through tissues or a body cavity is a diagnostic technique in the course of intensive development at the moment.
