MOU CSA-BMST Invivo Sensors for NIR II Nanoprobes

FY 2020-21 · 2020-09-01

Summary
The second biological window (NIR II) is a region of the optical spectrum where biological tissue transparency is optimal. Photon has pioneered instruments for this window by proposing the first microscope (IMA IR) and the first preclinical imager (IR VIVO) to the research community. This project will see the development and prototyping of new in vivo NIR II sensing and imaging modalities.

Description (French)
La deuxième fenêtre biologique (NIR II) est une région du spectre optique où la transparence des tissus biologiques est optimale. Photon a été le pionnier des instruments pour cette fenêtre en proposant le premier microscope (IMA IR) et le premier imageur préclinique (IR VIVO) à la communauté de chercheurs. Ce projet verra le développement et le prototypage de nouvelles modalités de détection et d'imagerie NIR II in vivo.
