Fluorescent probes and imaging techniques for deep-tissue optical imaging:a review
The research advancements in probes for deep-tissue imaging and adaptive optical imaging technologies are summarized,aiming to offer a new perspective for life science and interdisciplinary research.The review firstly gives an introduction on the probes emitting in the near-infrared-Ⅱ region,including fluorescence,bioluminescence,chemiluminescence,and persistent luminescence,and then elaborates direct sensing methods for rapid measurement and correction of wavefront distortions,as well as indirect sensing methods for correcting complex optical aberrations.The continuous updating of the above techniques and methods has enabled optical imaging to successfully penetrate deeper tissues with a remarkable reduction of background noise for higher image quality.
