摘要:
Outperforming fluorescein by far, elongated fluorophores (e.g. 1) give rise to large two-photon absorption cross-sections σ2 in the visible-red or NIR region and high quantum fluorescence yields Φ (see figure; GM = 10-50 cm4 s photon-1 ). This opens interesting prospects in the field of two-photon microscopy imaging of cell membranes.
