  • Abstract
    This paper presents autofluorescence of bones and teeth for 14-day and 28-day old newborn rats. The measurements were carried out by means of the fibre optical spectrometer with laser excitation source (407 nm). Differences in emission spectra of incisor, mandible and femur of rats with age were observed. It was also found that maternal administration of antiviral drug - indinavir (500 mg/kg po.) caused changes in autofluorescence of the studied tissues.
