1. An image sensor assembly for imaging tissue comprising:
at least one upconverter configured to:
detect fluorescence emission light in a near-infrared (NIR) waveband that is received from tissue to be imaged and generate, based on the detected fluorescence emission light, upconverted light that is outside of the NIR waveband, and
transmit at least a portion of visible light that is reflected from the tissue to be imaged; and
at least one image sensor configured to detect the upconverted light for generating at least one fluorescence emission image of the tissue and detect the transmitted visible light for generating at least one reflected visible light image of the tissue.
