From: Broadband (550–1350 nm) diffuse optical characterization of thyroid chromophores
Comparison of absolution absorption spectrum with various distortion effects: (a) absorption features distorted by high scattering of tyrosine (red triangles), (b) fluorescence distorting the spectrum of thyroglobulin in the visible region (red circles), (c) Effect of finite laser bandwidth at sharp absorption change of tyrosine (1145 nm peak, red circles), (d) overestimation of absorption at small sample sizes (sample width: 3.2 mm, 4.8 mm, 6.4 mm), only spectra above 10 mm sample width match with each other.
