“…NBI utilizes red-green-and-blue filters to modify WL endoscopy (WLE): the blue light filter (400–430 nm) highlights the capillaries in the super­ficial mucosa through mean peak absorption of hemoglobin (415 nm), while the green light filter (525–555 nm) penetrates deeper into the mucosa [1]. This results in greater clarity of mucosal surface structures due to the increased contrast between mucosa and superficial vessels, which appear brown/black [3]. …”

“…The first commercially available NBI systems (Lucera Spectrum and Exera II [1, 3]) produced images that were darker than WL (dark NBI), while the second-generation NBI systems released in 2012 (Lucera Elite and Exera III) exhibit an improvement in the light source that allows brighter images (light NBI) [3, 5]. High magnification is defined by the capacity to perform a zoom in an image.…”

“…White light is filtered in order to allow only the limited wavelengths of 415 nm and 540 nm to reach the mucosa. This technique exploits the principle that the depth of light penetration is proportional to wavelength [8][9][10]. By restricting the spectrum to visible blue and green light, penetration is limited to the superficial mucosal layers.…”
