A general strategy to develop fluorogenic polymethine dyes for bioimaging

Posted by , on 6 December 2023

by Annabell Martin and Pablo Rivera-Fuentes. Fluorescence imaging is an invaluable tool to study biological processes and further progress depends on the development of novel advanced fluorescent probes. Excitingly, using polymethines as a scaffold for fluorogenic dyes, we have opened up a lot of new avenues for bioimaging.

Phototoxicity - the good, the bad and the quantified.

Posted by , on 14 May 2021

Our virtual meeting on phototoxicity was held in late January 2021, generously sponsored by the European Microscopy Society and enabled by the Royal Microscopical Society. In four hours, spread over two days, the five organisers and twenty invited participants discussed the problem of phototoxicity in live imaging, and how we can start to tackle this
