Near-Infrared Dichromic Fluorescent Carbocyanine Molecules

摘要

Central to major advances in biochemical assays,molecular sensor technologies,and molecular optical imaging are fluorescent materials that provide high detection sensitivity for molecular processes.In biological optical imaging,the low tissue autofluorescence and the deep penetration of light into the tissues observed at wavelengths between 650 and 900 nm allow the use of near-infrared(NIR)fluorescent dyes as contrast agents in heterogeneous systems.
