Chiral porphyrazine near-IR optical imaging agent exhibiting preferential tumor accumulation.
A chiral porphyrazine (pz), H(2)[pz(trans-A(2)B(2))] (247), has been prepared that exhibits preferential in vivo accumulation in the cells of tumors. Pz 247 exhibits near-infrared (NIR) emission with lambda > 700 nm in the required wavelength range for maximum tissue penetration. When MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cells are treated with 247, the agent shows strong intracellular fluorescence with an e...
متن کاملOptical and Near-IR Field Luminosity Functions
We present preliminary measurements of the bJ and K-band luminosity functions (LFs) of field galaxies obtained from optical and Kband imaging of a sample of galaxies selected from the Stromlo-APM Redshift Survey. The bJ LF is consistent with that previously published from photographic data. TheK-band LF has been estimated over a range of 12 magnitudes and is reasonably well fit by a Schechter f...
متن کاملNear-IR imaging of cracks in teeth.
Dental enamel is highly transparent at near-IR wavelengths and several studies have shown that these wavelengths are well suited for optical transillumination for the detection and imaging of tooth decay. We hypothesize that these wavelengths are also well suited for imaging cracks in teeth. Extracted teeth with suspected cracks were imaged at several wavelengths in the near-IR from 1300-1700-n...
متن کاملMultimeric Near IR–MR Contrast Agent for Multimodal In Vivo Imaging
Multiple imaging modalities are often required for in vivo imaging applications that require both high probe sensitivity and excellent spatial and temporal resolution. In particular, MR and optical imaging are an attractive combination that can be used to determine both molecular and anatomical information. Herein, we describe the synthesis and in vivo testing of two multimeric NIR-MR contrast ...
متن کاملImaging cervical cytology with scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) coupled with an IR-FEL
Cervical cancer remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women, especially in the developing world. Increased synthesis of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids is a pre-condition for the rapid proliferation of cancer cells. We show that scanning near-field optical microscopy, in combination with an infrared free electron laser (SNOM-IR-FEL), is able to distinguish between normal and...
