Optical imaging plays an indispensable role in biomedical research due to its excellent spatiotemporal resolution and non-invasive nature in molecular detection and imaging. In particular, fluorescence imaging in the shortwave infrared (NIR, 650–900 nm) window has recently gained increasing attention compared to traditional near-infrared imaging, owing to its deeper tissue penetration and improved signal-to-background ratio … Read more
