Ex vivo imaging and imaging of sections. (a) Representative images of tumors with surrounding tissue: photos, NIR pHLIP ICG fluorescent images, overlay of photos with NIR pHLIP ICG fluorescent images, and images of HE-stained sections obtained from the same tumor-muscle pieces are shown. (b) Bright field image of HE-stained section and NIR pHLIP ICG fluorescent images of the adjacent non-processed section obtained on IR scanner shown in monochrome (green) and 16-color (white and red are the highest intensity, and black and dark blue are the lowest intensity) presentations. T indicates tumor; M indicates muscle, and S indicates stroma. (c) Magnified bright field images (using 20 × objective) of tumor (T), muscle (M1 and M2), tumor stroma (TS1, TS2 and TS3) of HE-stained section are presented in panel (b).
