Example of the wavelength dependence of penetration depth for two different tissue types. Data were taken from [73]. The light wavelength has a strong impact on light penetration. For I-PDT, typically red light (around 650 nm) is employed and the expected penetration depth for most tissues is below 1 cm (<4 mm for mucous tissue).
