Published purpose

The second biological window (NIR II) is a region of the optical spectrum where biological tissue transparency is optimal. Photon has pioneered instruments for this window by proposing the first microscope (IMA IR) and the first preclinical imager (IR VIVO) to the research community. This project will see the development and prototyping of new in vivo NIR II sensing and imaging modalities.
