Live-cell imaging technology is advancing into the era of dynamic super-resolution imaging of organelles and specific proteins, placing new demands on the optical properties of fluorescent probes. Traditional live-cell fluorescent probes face two critical technical challenges:
- How to make fluorescent probes brighter and more photostable.
- How to make fluorescent probes gentler to minimize the photodamage of organelles.
