Near-Infrared Fluorescent Dyes
Near-infrared (near-IR, NIR) dyes offer important advantages over traditional visible light dyes. Because cellular or tissue components produce minimal autofluorescence in the near-IR region, near-IR dyes have the potential to offer highly specific and sensitive detection in complex biological systems. Also, because light with wavelength in the near-IR region has strong tissue penetration, near...
متن کاملUse of Voltage - Sensitive Dyes and Optical
-Understanding the spatio-temporal features of the information processing occurring in any complex neural structure requires the monitoring and analysis of the activity in populations of neurons. Electrophysiological and other mapping techniques have provided important insights into the function of neural circuits and neural populations in many systems. However, there remain limitations with th...
متن کاملPotassium Sensitive Optical Nanosensors Containing Voltage Sensitive Dyes.
lonophore-based ion-selective optical nanosensors have been explored for a number of years. Voltage sensitive dyes (VSDs) have been introduced into this type of sensors only very recently, forming a new class of analytical tools. Here, K(+)-sensitive nanospheres incorporating a lipophilic VSD were successfully fabricated and characterized. The nanosensors were readily delivered into the social ...
متن کاملEnzyme-induced staining of biomembranes with voltage-sensitive fluorescent dyes.
We consider the physicochemical basis for enzyme-induced staining of cell membranes by fluorescent voltage-sensitive dyes, a method that may lead to selective labeling of genetically encoded nerve cells in brain for studies of neuronal signal processing. The approach relies on the induction of membrane binding by enzymatic conversion of a water-soluble precursor dye. We synthesized an amphiphil...
متن کاملNear infrared two-photon excitation cross-sections of voltage-sensitive dyes.
Microscopy based on voltage-sensitive dyes has proven effective for revealing spatio-temporal patterns of neuronal activity in vivo and in vitro. Two-photon microscopy using voltage-sensitive dyes offers the possibility of wide-field visualization of membrane potential on sub-cellular length scales, hundreds of microns below the tissue surface. Very little information is available, however, abo...
