We present μa, μ′s, μ′t and δ of albino and pigmented mice skin from both genders, from 400 to 1400 nm.
Dense connective tissues are more abundant in males and present strong scattering.
Males present stronger absorption by heme-proteins indicating higher blood content.
Albino mice present more intense infrared absorption due to higher water content.
Melanin in depilated pigmented mouse skin is irrelevant for light absorption.
