Preferably, the device (100) takes images. It is connected to the surface where element (101) is located. The connection in question is connected in the figure. This is possible. In order to ensure this, the inner surface of the body (10) must be at least partially flexible. It may be made of material. The outer surface of the body (10) is both the device (100) and 25 aluminum, composite to protect the structure inside the apparatus (1) against impacts It can be manufactured from materials that provide higher strength, such as metal. The body (10) enables the image acquisition element (101) to acquire images of the target area. It contains at least one hole to provide. The body (10) contains at least one hole to provide the device (100) to which it will be connected. in accordance with the model, external geometry and layout characteristics It can be configured. The apparatus (1) has at least one internal guiding element extending outwards from the body (10). (20) is included. The inner guiding element (20) is preferably cylindrical in structure and is shown in Figure 1. 35 As can be seen, it extends outwards from the body (10) in the direction of the z-axis (z). Inside The inner part of the guiding element (20) is hollow and is defined in the body (10), 8 the image acquisition element (101) of the device (100) takes an image of the target area The hole providing the (100) image of the device continues along this gap. So essentially the device's (100) image This hole, which aligns with the receiving element (101), continues along the entire apparatus (1). is doing. The apparatus (1) contains at least one optical element (21). The optical element (21) is the body. (10) so that it remains between the internal guiding element (20) and the device (100). It is located. Therefore, the optical element (21) is the image receiving element of the device (100). It is positioned to be aligned with (101). Optical element (21), lens, macro lens, micro The lens can be a magnifying element and / or a combination of these, allowing the target to be 10. The image of the area is magnified, clarified, and captured by approximately 40x. It can be obtained in more detail by element (101). The apparatus (1) enables the device (100) to receive light from the light source (102). It includes a light collecting groove (50). The light collecting groove (50) is located on the body (10) of the device (100) 15 a cylindrical structure located on the surface and extending along the z-axis (z) It is arranged in the form of a channel. This is shown in Figure 4, a cross-sectional view taken along the x-axis (x). It can be seen with the inner guiding element (20) and the light collecting channel (50), an application. It is cylindrical in shape, but the image receiving element (101) and light of the device (100) Depending on the geometry, layout and / or cross-section form of the source (102), different 20 They can also be arranged in geometries. The light collecting groove (50) is positioned to correspond with the light source (102) of the device (100). positioned to receive, collect and hold the light in the apparatus (1) It allows for its orientation. In addition, the inner 25 of the light collecting groove (50) the surface to reduce the leakage of light to the outside environment and to keep the light inside the apparatus (1) with a light-impermeable coating to enable more effective light direction It may be coated. Thus, the light coming from the light source (102) of the device (100) is more to collect light with minimal loss and transfer it more efficiently to light guide elements (23) This makes it possible. Thanks to this, the stability of the lighting transmitted to the target area and 30 Increasing homogeneity can contribute to improving image quality. To provide this guidance, the apparatus (1) must have at least one light guide element (23) It includes a light guide element (23), one end of which is in the light collecting groove (50) and the other end of which is A fiber 35 located in the opening (41) in the light distribution element (40) which will be explained below It can be arranged in the form of an optical cable. The light guide element (23) is a fiber optic cable. Thanks to this, the light received from the device's (100) light source (102) is low on the target area. 9 It can be transmitted with loss, in a focused and directed manner. Thus, the light, body (10) Instead of moving in a scattered manner along the irregular grooves or channels (22) inside, This can be delivered to the target area more efficiently via fiber optic cable. This reduces shadowing in the target area, balances lighting, and improves contrast. The enhancement of images that allow for clearer visualization of hair strands, follicles, and scalp features. 5 It is possible to obtain these images. These images show hair thickness, hair density, suitable for evaluating follicular structure and similar biometric features. It provides display infrastructure. The internal guidance element (20) takes the light from the starting point and directs it to the target area 10 The light guide element (23) that enables the transmission of light can fulfill this function. It contains at least one channel (22) to give. Channel (22) is the internal guiding element (20) arranged in a circular pattern along its perimeter and internally oriented in a form of application. a transition gap extending from the outer lateral surface of the element (20) to the inner lateral surface and / or is arranged as a hole. In this way, the light guide element (23) is inside 15 Entering the channel (22) from the outer side surface of the guiding element (20) and from the inner side surface It is exiting and moving towards the target area. The geometry of the light guide element (23) It is formed in a suitable way, therefore the canal (22) preferably has a circular cross-section. Channel (22) and light guide elements (23) are shown in Figure 5, a cross-section taken along the x-axis (x). It can be seen by its appearance. 20 The apparatus (1) contains at least one light distribution element (40), as mentioned above. The light distribution element (40) directs the light out through the apparatus (1) to the target area in a specific direction. to ensure that it is transmitted in an orderly manner, it has multiple openings (41) It includes. The opening (41) is in the form of a hole and the end of the light guide element (23) is 25 This allows the light to terminate here. Thus, the light guide element (23) It is carried through the opening (41) and exits from the said opening (41) to the target It is advancing towards the region. The light distribution element (40) is 30° relative to the z-axis (z) direction of the internal orientation element (20). on it, in other words between the target area and the internal orientation element (20) It is located. Therefore, the light distribution element (40) is the internal directional element (20) in a hollow cylindrical form, in an application that is suitable for its geometry The openings (41) are arranged angularly along the perimeter of the light distribution element (40). It is positioned as follows. In the preferred configuration, the openings (41) are equal to 35 degrees of 60 degrees. They are placed at angular intervals and preferably have 6 openings (41). Thanks to this arrangement, the light is directed to the target area not from a single point, but circumferentially. It can be transmitted from multiple distributed points. Thus, shadowing is eliminated in the target area. The light is reduced, the illumination is made more balanced, and the hair structures, follicles Images are obtained in which formations and skin surface features are more clearly visible. It is possible to direct the light through multiple apertures (41) and to target the area 5 by contributing to more homogeneous illumination, improving image quality and the obtained This increases the suitability of the images for evaluation. The apparatus (1) should surround the internal guiding element (20) at least partially, the body (10) At least one external orientation element (30) extending along the z-axis (z) 10 It includes. The external guiding element (30) is a hollow cylindrical structure in one application form. preferably with a gap between it and the internal guiding element (20) It is located in this gap where the light collecting trough (50) is connected and / or It forms a transition volume where it ends. Thus, starting from the light collecting groove (50) The 15 between the light guide element (23), the internal and external guiding elements (20, 30) progressing through the gap, from here to the channel (22) in the internal guiding element (20) entering, heading towards the inside of the inner guiding element (20) and continuing with the light It reaches the openings (41) in the distribution element (40). In this way, the light guide element (23) apparatus (1) is kept within the apparatus, its placement along a certain line It is being regulated and protected against external influences. Furthermore, the space in question serves as a light guide. 20 without bending, compressing and / or forming a scattered arrangement of the element (23) by contributing to its direction, it creates a more stable structure in the transmission of light to the target area. It constitutes. In addition, the external orientation element (30), the target area and the device (100) image acquisition 25 the distance between element (101) and / or optical element (21) is set to a specific value It holds. In the preferred configuration, this distance is approximately 22 mm. It can be determined. Thus, each time the apparatus (1) is brought into contact with the target area and / or preserving the image acquisition geometry when brought closer and the relationship between the camera and the skin It is possible to fix the distance. This allows the image to be focused up to 30°. This improves focus, reduces the risk of out-of-focus, and contributes to obtaining a clearer image. This is ensured. In addition, maintaining a constant distance, at different times and / or by contributing to the creation of similar shooting conditions in different applications It can improve the repeatability and comparability of images. 35 The external guide element (30) is z-axis (z) relative to the internal guide element (20) It can be configured to extend further outwards from the body (10) in that direction. 11 Thus, between the inner guidance element (20) and the outer guidance element (30), the target a level difference and / or distance along the z-axis (z) at the end facing the region It can be created. The external orientation is placed within the cavity formed by the distance in question. The z-axis (z) of the light distribution element (40) will close the inner cavity of the element (30). At least one cover (70) can be placed on it in this direction. The cover (70) blocks 5 of the light. It is made of transparent material that allows passage. In this way, the end facing the target area can be closed and the internal volume of the apparatus (1) can be reduced. It is possible to ensure that it is a closed structure. In addition, the cover (70), light distribution element (40) By creating a physical barrier between the target area, the interior of the apparatus (1) is separated from the external environment. It reduces direct contact, increases the sealing of the relevant area, and is located inside. It contributes to the protection of the field elements. The cover (70) is also the target area. Because it creates a smoother and more continuous surface that comes into contact with hair, fur, and the like, structures entering and / or jamming into the internal cavities of the apparatus (1) This can be reduced. Thus, contact with the end of the apparatus (1) of the target area can be made in a more controlled manner. 15 This ensures that the image acquisition process is more organized. This can be achieved. In addition, thanks to the transparent structure, the light reaches the target area. without hindering the transmission and reception of the image via the optical element (21) It is sustainable. Also the cover (70), preferably scratch-resistant, cleanable and / or attachable Designed with a removable structure for ease of use, maintenance, and replacement when needed. It can provide. In addition, the cover (70) protects the hairs, bristles and / or hairs in the target area. by contributing to the more regular laying of similar structures upon contact with the hair It makes it possible to obtain a clearer image of the roots, follicular structures and skin surface. 25 is able to do so. The device (1) may include at least one charging port (60) on the housing (10). The said charging port The groove (60) is located on the lower surface of the body (10) relative to the y-axis (y) and the charging channel of the device (100). a groove that allows the cable and / or charging end to be inserted into the device (100) and / or 30 It is arranged in a channel-like shape. In light of all that has been said, the invention works as follows: The user assembles the apparatus (1) together with to be used mobile device (100), e.g. a phone or tablet, via the body (10) It connects like a protective sheath. During this placement, the body is defined as 35 (10). the hole is connected to the image receiving element (101) of the device (100), and the light collecting chute (50) is connected to the device (100) is positioned to correspond with the light source (102). Thus, the device 12 (100) image acquisition element (101), continuing inside the internal orientation element (20) It is moving towards the target area through the gap, emitting light from the device’s (100) light source (102). The light is received by the light collecting trough (50). Then the device (100) cuts the user's scalp containing hair, mustache, beard and similar hairs. The optical sensors are brought closer to and / or made to contact with the target area in these regions. During this process, the optical sensors... element (21), magnification of the image of the target area and image acquisition element (101) contributes to taking it in more detail. When the device's (100) light source (102) is activated during the image acquisition process, the emitted light is 10 light is received by the light collecting chute (50) and located inside the light collecting chute (50) It is carried inside the apparatus (1) via 6 light guide elements (23). Light guide element (23), the gap defined between internal and external orientation elements (20, 30) progressing along, then through channel (22) in the inner guiding element (20) inside passing to the section and then to the openings (41) in the light distribution element (40) 15 Thus, light is transmitted to the target area in a peripheral and distributed manner, and Reducing shadowing, balancing lighting, and aligning hair structures with skin surfaces. It becomes possible to obtain images in which the features can be distinguished more clearly. At this stage the image receiving element (101) of the device (100) passes through the optical element (21) and the internal 20 It takes the image of the target area along the inner part of the guiding element (20). The resulting image can be in single-frame, multi-frame, burst, and / or video format. It can be recorded. In an application format, the user can view images sequentially from different regions. by examining hair structure, follicular appearance, density and similar characteristics. It obtains convenient data. Thus, the apparatus (1) captures the existing image of the mobile device (100) 25 Working together with element (101) and light source (102), magnified view of the target area, This makes it possible to obtain illuminated and evaluable images. Therefore, via the apparatus (1), the existing image acquisition element (101) of the mobile device (100) and using a light source (102), an external display device, a separate lighting module, 30 without requiring additional batteries and / or an independent power supply, to the target area It becomes possible to obtain magnified and easily viewable images. In addition, thanks to the mechanical structure of the apparatus (1), the optical element (21) takes the image. element (101) and light transmission line can be kept in a certain geometric relationship, which is 35 more controlled shooting distance, optical alignment and lighting pattern This contributes to ensuring more standardized conditions in each shoot. 13 This can be done by comparing images taken at different times and / or in different regions. More reliable comparisons can be made. This reduces shadowing, The lighting is balanced, the contrast is enhanced, and the characteristics of the hair strand, follicle, and scalp are clearly visible.
