A General Strategy for Enhancing the Brightness of Near-Infrared Fluorophores
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores are foundational for fluorescence imaging in multicellular organisms. However, their fluorescence brightness, defined as the product of the molar extinction coefficien...

A cool paper from the Stains lab describes a parameter for screening improved probes for photoacoustic imaging called acoustic loudness factor (ALF). ALF can predict dye performance in PAI and can be used to guide design strategies to enhance photoacoustic signal. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Acoustic loudness factor as an experimental parameter for benchmarking small molecule photoacoustic probes - Nature Communications
The authors report on acoustic loudness factor (ALF), which can be used to benchmark small-molecule photoacoustic probes, analogous to fluorescence brightness. The ALF enables the direct comparison of...
