Sensing of Flow and Shear Stress Using Fluorescent Molecular Rotors
Molecular rotors are fluorescent molecules with two competing pathways of deexcitation: They return from the excited singlet state to the ground state either through fluorescence or through nonradiative intramolecular rotation. Molecular rotors are known as viscosity sensors, because intramolecular rotation rate depends on the viscosity of the solvent. In this study, we describe a new observati...
متن کاملEnvironment-sensitive behavior of fluorescent molecular rotors
Molecular rotors are a group of fluorescent molecules that form twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) states upon photoexcitation. When intramolecular twisting occurs, the molecular rotor returns to the ground state either by emission of a red-shifted emission band or by nonradiative relaxation. The emission properties are strongly solvent-dependent, and the solvent viscosity is the pri...
متن کاملSimultaneous measurement of water flow velocity with fluorescent and speckle imaging technique
The average velocity of water flow has been simultaneously measured with fluorescent and speckle imaging methods. The measured velocities with two methods are in good agreement with each other and it confirms that the speckle imaging method can be used as a confident method to measure the velocity of water flow in a dry leaf. Also the velocity of water flow through thick and thin xylems of a le...
متن کاملMapping microbubble viscosity using fluorescence lifetime imaging of molecular rotors.
Encapsulated microbubbles are well established as highly effective contrast agents for ultrasound imaging. There remain, however, some significant challenges to fully realize the potential of microbubbles in advanced applications such as perfusion mapping, targeted drug delivery, and gene therapy. A key requirement is accurate characterization of the viscoelastic surface properties of the micro...
متن کاملFluorescence Lifetime Imaging of Molecular Rotors in Living Cells
Diffusion is often an important rate-determining step in chemical reactions or biological processes and plays a role in a wide range of intracellular events. Viscosity is one of the key parameters affecting the diffusion of molecules and proteins, and changes in viscosity have been linked to disease and malfunction at the cellular level. While methods to measure the bulk viscosity are well deve...
