From: Broadband (550–1350 nm) diffuse optical characterization of thyroid chromophores
Comparison of thyroglobulin, tyrosine and iodine spectra with typical tissue constituent spectra (oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin, lipid, water, collagen): (a) tissue constituent spectra with absorption values relevant to thyroid tissues6, (b) second order derivative spectra of various tissue constituents and the inset reveals some unique features of tyrosine spectrum.
