Ultra-bright and -stable red and near-infrared squaraine fluorophores for in vivo two-photon imaging.
Fluorescent dyes that are bright, stable, small, and biocompatible are needed for high-sensitivity two-photon imaging, but the combination of these traits has been elusive. We identified a class of squaraine derivatives with large two-photon action cross-sections (up to 10,000 GM) at near-infrared w...
