Abstract
A two-photon probe (BCaM) shows 14fold enhancement in two-photon emission fluorescence in response to Ca2+ and shows high sensitivity and selectivity for near-membrane Ca2+ ions (see picture). Combined with the known Na+ twophoton probe ANa1, BCaM allows simultaneous dual-color imaging of Ca2+/Na+ activities within live cells and in tissues at more than 100 μm depth for long time periods without photobleaching.
