Analysis of the spectra of DMs, the ICG solution, and the light from the fluorescent lamp. The transmission spectra of the DMs used to block specific wavelengths of light (A) and the absorbance spectrum of a 5 μg/mL ICG solution (B) were measured using a spectrophotometer. (B) Bars under the horizontal axis show the range in which the DMs blocked more than 90% of transmission. The wavelengths blocked by DM-red overlapped with the range of the peak absorbance of ICG. The spectrum distribution of light from the fluorescent lamp light (C) is cited at with permission from Hitachi, Ltd. The spectrum distribution indicates that the light energy was relatively low at wavelengths that overlapped with high absorbance of ICG.
