Abstract:Significance: Fluorescence lifetime imaging in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) is expected to enable high-resolution multiplexed molecular imaging in highly scattering tissue.Aim: To characterize the brightness and fluorescence lifetime of commercially available organic SWIR fluorophores and benchmark them against the tail emission of conventional NIR-excited probes.Approach: Characterization was performed through our established time-domain mesoscopic fluorescence molecular tomography system integrated around a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
