a, IR thermograph of the IR source used in the IR block setup. The IR zone was held at 34 °C and covered using different thickness of IR blocking windows. Acquisition of the images was made using a FLIR One infrared smartphone camera and the background was normalized using FLIR ignite software. b, IR preference assay performed using different thickness of IR blocking Si wafers covering the 34 °C IR source. Means ± SEMs (n = 6 biological replicates). One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD test. *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001. c, IR intensity measurements with a pyroelectric sensor when the temperature of the IR source varies between 28°– 37 °C. d, IR intensity measurements using a pyroelectric sensor when the distance of the IR source at 34 °C is 8 cm to 30 cm from the sensor. Exact P-values provided in Source Data.
