Deep-Tissue Anatomical Imaging of Mice Using Carbon Nanotube Fluorophores in the Second Near Infrared Window

Kevin Welsher, Sarah P. Sherlock, Hongjie Dai

Fluorescent imaging in the second near infrared window (NIR II, 1-1.4 μm) holds much promise due to minimal autofluorescence and tissue scattering. Here, using well functionalized…
