In this work we present our effort to develop an infrared method to differentiate between malignant and healthy tissue in vivo. This paper will present the technical design of the laboratory set up and the results obtained in experiments carried out on melanoma tumors in the skin of male mice. Silver halide fibers were used to carry our ATR measurements on tumor sections. Further results were compared with detailed measurements carried out using an FTIR-microscope and thin tissue sections in the spectral range of 4000 - 900 cm-1. The results indicate that IR spectroscopy would be a useful tool for biodiagnosis, in vivo and in real time. The fiberoptic method described here will easily lend itself to endoscopic applications.
