This book offers a thorough exploration of bioimaging through sensors and probes, presented by distinguished researchers Professor Young-Tae Chang and Professor Nam-Young Kang. It covers the history and design of colorful sensors and probes, detailing mechanisms of staining and their applications in cell, tissue, and whole-body imaging. Readers will discover how to select and utilize various probes, along with insights into new research directions in this field. The text includes an introduction to bioimaging, discussions on chemical sensors and probes, and comprehensive examinations of organelle and cell-selective probes, including a model for organelle selectivity. It also addresses practical aspects of tissue-selective probes and whole-body imaging, as well as the use of imaging for biological functions and disease diagnosis, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s. This resource is ideal for chemical biologists, analytical chemists, biochemists, and materials scientists, and it will be a valuable addition to the libraries of clinical chemists, advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in the bioimaging and sensor industry.
