چکیده
Different types of molecular and nanoscale fluorophores are being developed for fluorescent imaging of live cells. Here we present their novel types and novel compositions. The dyes incorporated into nanostructures and their metal coordination complexes as well as carbon nanodots penetrate easily into the cell with the lack of toxicity, forming stable images. They are prospective for further functionalization for targeting and contrasting cell organelles and for biosensing.

متن کاملCell-Permeant Large Stokes Shift Dyes for Transfection-Free Multicolor Nanoscopy.
We designed cell-permeant red-emitting fluorescent dye labels with >140 nm Stokes shifts based on 9-iminoanthrone, 9-imino-10-silaxanthone, and 9-imino-10-germaxanthone fluorophores. The corresponding probes selectively targeting mitochondria, lysosomes, and F-actin demonstrate low toxicity and enable stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy in neurons, human fibroblasts, U2OS, and HeLa c...

متن کاملEvaluation of fluorescent probe surface intensities as an indicator of transdermal permeant distributions using wide-area two-photon fluorescence microscopy.
The application of high-speed two-photon fluorescence microscopy (HTPM) to examine transdermal transport processes has enabled the noninvasive visualization of permeant spatial distributions over a larger, more clinically relevant wide area of the skin. Earlier studies demonstrated that the transdermal fluorescent probe distribution over a 2 x 2 mm skin area was well represented by a significan...
متن کاملAmphibious fluorescent carbon dots: one-step green synthesis and application for light-emitting polymer nanocomposites.
A facile and green approach for the synthesis of amphibious fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) from natural polysaccharide is reported. Light-emitting polymer nanocomposites with excellent optical performance can be easily prepared by incorporation of the amphibious CDs into the polymer matrix.
