THE METHOD OF DETERMINING AN ABSOLUTE VALUE OF OXYGEN SATURATION OF AN UNHEMOLYZED BLOOD SPECIMEN COMPRISING DIRECTING LIGHT ALONG AN OPTICAL PATH ONTO A SURFACE OF THE BLOOD OF SAID SPECIMEN IN SUCH MANNER AS TO CAUSE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF SIAD LIGHT TO BE REFLECTED BY SAID SPECIMEN, SELECTIVELY FILTERING A FIRST PORTION OF SAID RELECTED LIGHT TO REMOVE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL WAVELENGTHS THEREFROM BUT A FIRST PRESELECTED WAVELENGTH OF LIGHT CORRESPONDING TO AN ISOBESTIC POINT WHERE OXYHEMOGLOBIN AND REDUCED HEMOGLOBIN IN SIAD BLOOD SPECIMEN HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL EXTINCTION COEFFICIENTS FOR SAID PRESELECTED WAVELENGTH, SELECTIVELY FILTERING A SECOND PORTION OF SAID REFLECTED LIGHT TO REMOVE SUBSTANTIALLY ALL WAVELENGTHS THEREFROM BUT A PRESELECTED SECOND WAVELENGTH OF LIGH FOR WHICH SAID OXYHEMOGLOBIN AND REDUCED HEMOGLOBIN HAVE APPRECIABLY DIFFERENT EXTINCTION COEFFICIENTS, MEASURING THE RATIO OF INTENSITY OF ONE OF SAID
