Bis-Pseudoindoxyl: A New Fluorophore for Bioimaging

Caption

Single benzene-based fluorophores with absorption wavelengths above 600 nm are ideal for bioimaging. Recently, scientists from Japan have developed bis-pseudoindoxyls, which exhibit red-region absorption and emission. This compact fluorophore is ideal for long-term live-cell imaging of lipid droplets in the red spectral region.
