Infrared fluorescence videomicroscopy with indocyanine green (Cardiogreen).
After intravenous injection indocyanine green binds almost completely to the plasma proteins and may be detected in the skin capillaries by an infrared sensitive fluorescence videomicroscopy system. The technique opens a way to measure full capillary diameter and dimension of the plasma layer in an almost atraumatic way.
