Using Infrared Spectroscopy for Biological Tissue Exploration
Image Credit: Photobank gallery/Shutterstock.com For decades, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been used as an in vivo method of studying human tissue. Importantly, it has provided healthcare professionals and researchers with a reliable technique of looking at biological tissue non-invasively, gathering information from living subjects so that tissue functions can be explored within their natural context. Here, we discuss the importance of NIR spectroscopy in exploring biological tissues, its current developments, and how it may be used in the future. What is NIR Spectroscopy? NIR spec...
