Oligoscan

The OligoScan is an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic tool that employs light technology to assess the levels of minerals, trace elements, and heavy metals present in your body tissues.

This scanning technique offers real-time and accurate evaluations of your mineral and heavy metal status, essential for achieving optimal wellness and preventing potential health issues.

By providing immediate feedback, the OligoScan enables individuals to make informed decisions about their health and nutritional needs.

Philology

The prefix oligo- (ὀλίγος) in Greek means “few” or “small.”

Greek roots related to examination or inspection, terms like scope (from σκοπός, skopos, meaning “watcher” or “observer”)

or graph (from γράφω, graphō, meaning “to write” or “to record”) are more common in scientific or analytical contexts.

These roots are widely used in words like microscope (“small watcher”) and spectrograph (“light recorder”), often in instruments that analyze or observe at a detailed level.

In health contexts, OligoScan is a tool for assessing levels of trace elements, minerals, and heavy metals in the body.

It operates using spectrophotometry, a non-invasive technique where light measurements are used to detect concentrations of substances in tissues.

The name, therefore, suggests a detailed examination at a “small” scale, aligning with its purpose of detecting minute levels of various elements within the body.

Spectrophotometry

The term spectrophotometry has Greek roots that combine the concepts of light and measurement:

Spectro-: From the Latin spectrum, which itself is derived from Greek influences and means “appearance” or “image.” In science, it refers to light or a range of wavelengths (often visible light).

Photo-: From the Greek φῶς (phos, genitive: photos), meaning “light.” This part of the word refers to the measurement of light within different wavelengths.

-metry: From the Greek μέτρον (metron), meaning “measure.” This suffix is commonly used in scientific terminology to denote measurement.

Together, spectrophotometry essentially means the measurement of light intensity across the spectrum, commonly used in chemistry and physics to analyze material compositions by examining light absorbance or reflection at different wavelengths.
