Two-photon probes for biomedical applications
Abstract
Two-photon microscopy (TPM), which uses two photons oflower energy as the excitation source, is a vital tool in biologyand clinical science, due to its capacity to image deep insideintact tissues for a long period of time. To make TPM a moreversatile tool in biomedical research, we have developed avariety of two-photon probes for specific applications. In thismini review, we will briefly discuss two-photon probes forlipid rafts, lysosomes, mitochondria, and pH, and theirbiomedical applications. [BMB Reports 2013; 46(4): 188-194]
