Provided is a two-photon fluorescent probe, and more particularly, a two-photon fluorescent probe which is one or more selected from compounds represented by Formulae 1 and 2, a method for manufacturing the same, and an imaging method of zinc ions within the mitochondrion using the same. Since two probes are introduced into one molecule, the two-photon fluorescent probe of the present invention can selectively dye the mitochondria, simultaneously with reacting with zinc ions, thereby generating intense fluorescence. Thus, the two-photon fluorescent probe of the present invention can be used for the imaging of zinc ion distribution and activation within the mitochondrion in living cells or intact biological tissues.
