Long-lived two-photon excited luminescence of water-soluble europium complex: Applications in biological imaging using two-photon scanning microscopy
A new europium complex presenting good solubility and stability in water, intense emission in the red (616 nm) long luminescence lifetime, and significant two-photon absorption cross-section in the biological window has been designed and successfully used for two-photon scanning microscopy bioimaging experiments on fixed cancer cells.
