- Abstract
- Two-photon microscopy is a powerful tool for studying biological systems. In search of novel two-photon absorbing dyes for bioimaging, we synthesized a new anthracene-based dipolar dye (anthradan) and evaluated its two-photon absorbing and imaging properties. The new anthradan, 9,10-bis(o-dimethoxy-phenyl)-anthradan, absorbs and emits at longer wavelengths than acedan, a well-known two-photon absorbing dye. It is also stable under two-photon excitation conditions and biocompatible, and thus used for two-photon imaging of mouse organ tissues to show bright, near-red fluorescence along with negligible autofluorescence. Such an anthradan thus holds promise as a new class of two-photon absorbing dyes for the development of fluorescent probes and tags for biological systems.
