New europium complex opens lanthanides to two-photon imaging

Although lanthanides have been used for biological imaging, they are somewhat limited for use in living tissue because they must be excited with ultraviolet light. Now researchers at the University of Lyon, at the Institut Albert Bonniot in Grenoble and at the University of Joseph Fourier in St. Martin d’Hères, all in France, have developed a europium complex that can be excited using the two-photon antenna effect in the near-infrared spectral range, which may help overcome these limitations. Elements in the lanthanide series, which include neodymium, europium, ytterbium and terbium, have...Read full article
