The present invention relates to a device for measuring a line current. Said device comprises at least three sensor elements having paramagnetic centres, a pump-radiation source, an optical system, and at least three photodetectors which function as part of receiving systems and are each associated with a sensor element. In addition, the device contains two magnetic field sources which generate different bias magnetic fields for each sensor element.

These centres emit fluorescence radiation, the intensity and phase shift of which depend on the AC drive signal of the evaluation and control device and on the magnetic flux density acting upon them. The fluorescence radiation is separated from the pump radiation by the optical system and guided onto the photodetectors. The evaluation and control device generates a single-frequency sinusoidal AC drive signal having a frequency of 22 MHz (-4 MHz / +7 MHz), or within a range of 18 MHz to 29 MHz.

The present invention provides a flexible biopsy forceps with a hollow channel for real-time biopsy of lung lesions, comprising an insertion portion having a hollow channel capable of accommodating a medical device for image-guided imaging; a gripping portion disposed at the distal end of the insertion portion, comprising a first metal groove and a second metal groove capable of interlocking to form a space for accommodating a biopsy specimen, while forming an opening at the distal end to allow the medical device to pass through; an operating portion disposed at the proximal end of the insertion portion and connected to the gripping portion via a connecting device; the operating portion capable of driving the first and second metal grooves to pivot. The present invention can meet the needs of real-time lung biopsy under the guidance of radial bronchial ultrasound or confocal laser endoscopic probes, improve the diagnosis rate of peripheral lung lesions, avoid radiation exposure of medical workers and patients, and provide high-quality pathology / microbiology test samples for later treatment.
