  2. Near-infrared window in biological tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_window_in...

    The near-infrared (NIR) window (also known as optical window or therapeutic window) defines the range of wavelengths from 650 to 1350 nanometre (nm) where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue. [1] Within the NIR window, scattering is the most dominant light-tissue interaction, and therefore the propagating light becomes diffused ...

  3. Full-spectrum photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-spectrum_photography

    Full-spectrum photography is a subset of multispectral imaging, defined among photography enthusiasts as imaging with consumer cameras the full, broad spectrum of a film or camera sensor bandwidth. In practice, specialized broadband/full-spectrum film captures visible and near infrared light, commonly referred to as the " VNIR ".

  4. Rate of natural increase - Wikipedia

    For example, during the COVID-19 crisis Singapore offered families a “pandemic baby bonus” to encourage a higher birth rate, therefore increasing RNI. [5] The US has considered similar policies. [6] Another example was China's one-child policy, intended to decrease birth rates, therefore decreasing the RNI. [7]

  5. Near-infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-infrared_spectroscopy

    NIR absorption bands are typically 10–100 times weaker than the corresponding fundamental mid-IR absorption band.) [4] The lower absorption allows NIR radiation to penetrate much further into a sample than mid infrared radiation. Near-infrared spectroscopy is, therefore, not a particularly sensitive technique, but it can be very useful in ...

  6. Photometric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometric_system

    Each letter designates a section of light of the electromagnetic spectrum; these cover well the consecutive major groups, near-ultraviolet (NUV), visible light (centered on the V band), near-infrared (NIR) and part of mid-infrared (MIR). [a] The letters are not standards, but are recognized by common agreement among astronomers and astrophysicists.

  7. Normalized difference vegetation index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_difference...

    NDVI is functionally and linearly equivalent to the ratio NIR / (NIR+VIS), which ranges from 0 to 1 and is thus never negative nor limitless in range. [6] But the most important concept in the understanding of the NDVI algebraic formula is that, despite its name, it is a transformation of a spectral ratio (NIR/VIS), and it has no functional ...

  8. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    As an example, raw FCS data and its autocorrelation for freely diffusing Rhodamine 6G are shown in the figure to the right. The plot on top shows the fluorescent intensity versus time. The intensity fluctuates as Rhodamine 6G moves in and out of the focal volume.

  9. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_near-infrared...

    In 1977, Jöbsis [8] reported that brain tissue transparency to NIR light allowed a non-invasive and continuous method of tissue oxygen saturation using transillumination. Transillumination (forward-scattering) was of limited utility in adults because of light attenuation and was quickly replaced by reflectance-mode based techniques - resulting ...
