Rapid Communication: Direct Optical Detection of Singlet Oxygen from a Single Cell

ABSTRACT Singlet oxygen has been detected in single nerve cells by its weak 1270 nm phosphorescence (a1Δg→X3Σg−) upon irradiation of a photosensitizer incorporated in the cell. Thus, one can now consider the application of direct optical imaging techniques to mechanistic studies of singlet oxygen at...

Summary:ABSTRACT Singlet oxygen has been detected in single nerve cells by its weak 1270 nm phosphorescence (a1Δg→X3Σg−) upon irradiation of a photosensitizer incorporated in the cell. Thus, one can now consider the application of direct optical imaging techniques to mechanistic studies of singlet oxygen at the single‐cell level.
