The fluorescence quantum yield Φ f is a key property that characterizes the ability of a
fluorophore to convert absorbed photons into emitted photons under various environmental …

Purpose A primary enabling feature of near-infrared fluorescent proteins (FPs) and
fluorescent probes is the ability to visualize deeper in tissues than in the visible. The …

We are evaluating PCT imaging in conjunction with NIR dye labeled Herceptin antibody for
noninvasive assessment of HER2 expression in tumors. Herceptin was labeled with Alexa …

Reversibly switchable fluorescent proteins (rsFPs) have had a revolutionizing effect on life
science imaging due to their contribution to sub-diffraction-resolution optical microscopy …

MnTPPS is a metallic water soluble porphyrin with high potential to be used as a contrast
agent in photoacoustic tomography. In order to fully understand the interaction between …

A set of non-toxic, water-soluble photocalorimetric reference compounds has been
characterized. These compounds are brilliant blue G, brilliant black BN, new coccine, indigo …

Under physiological conditions B‐form DNA is an exceedingly stable structure. However,
experimental evidences obtained through nuclear magnetic resonance and fluorescence …

We have examined the binding processes of ethidium bromide interacting with calf thymus
DNA using photoacoustic spectroscopy. These binding processes are generally investigated …

An experimental system for measuring simultaneously photoacoustic (PA) and fluorescence
signals is described. The simultaneous measurement of laser induced fluorescence and …

A fast perturbation in proton concentration can be induced in aqueous solution using a
pulsed ultraviolet laser and suitable photolabile compounds which, upon photoexcitation …
