Figure 1(a–e) Representative spectrophotometric scans showing net bilirubin absorbance (NBA) at 476 nm above a tangential baseline as described in the text. 1(a) A normal cerebrospinal fluid with essentially no bilirubin; scan and baseline (not drawn) are superimposable. 1(b) NBA within the reference range. 1(c) Oxyhaemoglobin with zero NBA. 1(d) Oxyhaemoglobin with NBA within the reference range. 1(e) Oxyhaemoglobin with an increased NBA. In practice, such scans are best visualized filling the whole of an A4 page in landscape mode
