(A) A schematic illustration for SPIO@DSPE-PEG/ICG NPs preparation. (B) The SPIO@DSPE-PEG/ICG NPs had a uniform diameter of average size of 28 nm based on the TEM image. (C) UV-Vis-NIR extinction spectrum of SPIO@DSPE-PEG/ICG NPs free ICG and SPIO@DSPE-PEG NPs in water. (D) The diameter distribution of SPIO@DSPE-PEG/ICG NPs by DLS measurements. (E) Plot of the photoacoustic amplitude as a function of SPIO@DSPE-PEG/ICG NPs solution concentration and free ICG solution.
