Abstract

Light in the near infrared has advantageous properties such as reduced scattering and higher depth of penetration that make it ideal for optical imaging either in transmission or in fluorescence. This chapter gives an overview of the physics behind light propagation, the optical properties of biological tissues and finally presents the potential benefits that this part of the spectrum can offer to imaging.
