Growing advancements in small-molecule near-IR probe domain for bioimaging

 

Growing advancements in the small-molecule near-IR probe domain for bioimaging is expected to enhance its usage in bioimaging. The advent of new contrast agents has amplified the potential of NIR bioimaging for real-time vascular visualization and deep tissue diagnostics for ongoing surgical assistance. The development of new NIR contrast agents has aided the bioimaging of numerous targets with advantages, such as low cytotoxicity, structural tunability, and good cell permeability. Near-infrared imaging has a wide range of applications including physiological diagnostics and the study of pulse oximetry, blood sugar, sports medicine, urology, and neurology. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is integrated with optical imaging technology and is increasingly used in the neuroimaging domain.

 

Advantages provided by the NIR technique

 

Advantages provided by the NIR technique including minimal invasiveness and deep tissue imaging using the non-non-ionizing method are expected to strengthen its applications in operating rooms as well as emergency departments. NIR integrated with nanoparticle (NP) based NIR contrast agent resists rapid photo-bleaching and is stable to the organic counterparts. Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease with the help of non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy is expected to have a significant impact on the usage of the NIR technique in neurology. These advantages are expected to broaden the applications of near-infrared imaging with nanoparticles.

 

Long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera segment occupies the major share of the global infrared imaging market

 

Based on the wavelength, the infrared imaging market is segmented into the near-infrared, shortwave infrared, mid-wave infrared & long-wave infrared. Amidst this category, the long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera segment will witness high growth due to its ability to operate efficiently in harsh environments such as smoke or aerosol. These cameras are much efficient in detecting objects, which span a very wide temperature range requiring intra-scene imaging of both hot & cold objects. The cameras are widely adopted for long-range surveillance due to their long-range FOV. Furthermore, LWIR-enabled technology cameras are used for military & firefighting applications.
