In this month’s editorial, we visit the topic of red to near infrared fluorescent probes for use in fluorescence microscopy, with special emphasis on imaging live specimens. The topic was inspired by a Commentary from Laissue and colleagues in this issue on the topic of assessing and reporting phototoxicity during live imaging.
As additional reading, we suggest a 2013 editorial on phototoxicity from our pages.
We welcome any feedback!
