Fig. (3)

Absorption coefficient in water [140] and oxygenated blood (5% haematocrit) [141]. Reduced scattering coefficient in dermis [142] and white matter [142] over the wavelength range of 200 nm to 2500 nm. Wavelength ranges commonly used for Optogenetics (380 – 650 nm), INS (1400 – 2200 nm) and Nanoparticle Enhanced INS (700 – 900 nm) are highlighted. Vertical dashed grey lines show the therapeutic window where absorption and scattering is relatively low.
