Abstract
In this study we realized multiphoton bioimaging, by utilizing a kind of fluorescent
agent with aggregation induced emission (AIE) feature. The luminogen is called tetraphenylethene-
triphenylphosphonium (TPETPP), and it is a highly specific mitochondria tracker. We studied
its photostability under three-photon excitation, and found that even under long-term excitation,
the three-photon fluorescence signals of TPETPP in the cells still kept very bright. Furthermore,
under the same 1020 nm femtosecond excitation, TPETPP assisted three-photon imaging has
higher spatial resolution than two-photon imaging of MitoTracker red FM (MT), which is a
commercially available mitochondria imaging agent.
