Chlorins have several advantages that make them suitable for histological applications:
High Fluorescence Yield: Chlorins exhibit strong fluorescence, making them highly visible under a microscope. Photostability: They are relatively stable under light exposure, which is crucial for accurate imaging. Low Toxicity: Due to their selective activation by light, chlorins minimize damage to non-target cells. Versatility: Chlorins can be easily conjugated with various biomolecules, enhancing their specificity.
