CBM researchers have developed the first molecular probe compatible with 2 existing imaging techniques: near infrared luminescence (NIR) and photoacoustic signal detection (PA) to improve image contrast.

Researchers in the "Lanthanide Luminescent Compounds, Spectroscopy and Optical Bioimaging" team have designed a molecular probe that can image living organisms using both near-infrared (NIR) luminescence and photoacoustic (PA) signal detection. These two complementary imaging techniques make it possible to monitor biological events precisely, in real time and non-invasively.
