Abstract Among the molecular imaging techniques, two-photon microscopy (TPM) has been adopted as a powerful tool for biomedical studies. TPM offers several advantages, including inherent sectioning capability, low photodamage, longer observation times, and greater tissue penetration depth. To facilitate the use of TPM, there is a strong need to develop a variety of sensitive two-photon probes. In this talk, ratiometric two-photon probes for direct, quantitative imaging of enzyme activity and hydrogen polysulfide, and their biomedical applications will be presented.
