Scheme of Scattered Light Waves inside An Inhomogeneous and Opaque Environment (IMAGE)
Caption
IBS scientists are able to focus on the scattered waves that have interacted with the target and maximize their intensity. A body's complex environment inhibits most of the light waves from reaching the target (green waves), whereas information about the target is presented in the red and blue waves. As target depth increases, the single-scattered signal (red) becomes negligibly small, because it is more likely that the waves will get bounced around by other biological molecules in their path (blue). Therefore, the goal of this study was to selectively control and enhance the blue waves over the green ones.
