Abstract
A shift of the light wavelength corresponding to the optical absorption peak of Indocyanine Green used for staining the horny layer of the human epidermis was measured in vivo. It is established that the dye molecules occur in both free and chemically bound state at the skin surface and only in the bound state at a depth of ∼5 μ m.
