A comparison of the absorption spectra of whole blood and the two dye solutions used in the in vitro setup. M1 is the dye mixture mimicking oxygenated blood and is made of Epolight 2717 and India ink. M2 is made of India ink and inkjet photo cyan to mimic the optical properties of deoxygenated blood. The solid lines show the extinction coefficients of the two oxygenation states of whole blood [25,26].
