[0002] This patent application covers the US provisional patent application, application number: 61 / 984,459, filed on April 25, 2014. The contents of the patent including English are listed below.
[0003] Background of the invention
[0004] In recent decades, fluorescence imaging has been widely used in various directions of biological science research, such as programmed cell apoptosis, organelle imaging, cell lineage transmission, etc. Compared with other imaging modalities including positron emission tomography (PET), magnetic resonance imaging, single photon emission computed tomography, etc., fluorescence imaging can obtain high signal-to-noise ratio at the subcellular level by using off-the-shelf biocompatible contrast agents imaging of cells, enabling the study of cell-cell interactions and immunological studies. In these bioimaging studies, real-time non-invasive fluorescence imaging over long periods of time is crucial for the study of ...
