(A) Experimental setup for AXT-induced photothermal therapy; (B) the tumor volume (i), rabbits’ body weight (ii), and H&E staining images at ×40 (iii) and ×100 (iv) of the samples; (C) the in vitro assessment of temperature change when NIR with a wavelength of 532 nm had been irradiated; (D) treatment of eye tumors up to 14 days: control (i), tumors treated with the laser alone for 4 min at 532 nm and 0.11 W cm^–2 (ii), injected AXT solution (300 μg mL^–1) without being exposed to laser irradiation (iii), tumors treated with both AXT injection followed by laser irradiation (532 nm and 0.11 W cm^–2 for 4 min) (iv).
