Abstract
Optical imaging refers to imaging techniques that use light as a tool of observation. A large variety of light sources, from visible to near-infrared light, can be used in many different source-detector configurations. This has enabled the development of a wide range of imaging methods and approaches from the macroscopic observation of a patient or an animal to microscopic studies, with numerous applications in clinical practice and biomedical research.
