Effects of Depilation-Induced Skin Pigmentation and Diet-Induced Fluorescence on In Vivo Fluorescence Imaging

Figure 3

Representative white light, fluorescent, and merged images 5–10 mins after i.d. injection of 10 ul of a mixture of ICG and Alexa-680-BSA to the base of the tail in mice with or without skin pigmentation fed a regular or special diet. The injection site was covered by back tape to prevent oversaturation of the camera (asterisk).
