While commercial fluorophores cover spectral space from the ultraviolet to the near infrared region and are optimized for conventional bandpass based fluorescence microscopy, they are not ideal for multicolor microscopy as they tend to have short Stokes shifts, restricting the number of fluorophores that can be detected in a single sample to four or five. Herein, we synthesized a library of 95 novel BODIPY (boron-dipyrromethene)-based fluorophores and screened their photophysical properties for conventional and superresolution multicolor microscopy applications. Overall, the fluorophores generated from our BODIPY-based library will enable both conventional and SRM multicolor imaging applications alone or in conjunction with commercially available fluorophores, increasing the available color palette for imaging. 000007681 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007681 650__ $$aBoron Compounds$$015766 000007681 650__ $$aSingle Molecule Imaging$$012091 000007681 650__ $$aMicroscopy$$022282 000007681 650__ $$aFluorescent Dyes$$019124 000007681 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007681 692__ $$aDepartment of Biomedical Engineering$$041397 000007681 7001_ $$aBittel, Amy M. 000007681 8564_ $$9bb4b63ec-d288-4757-9c5f-2768d4ec024f$$s6452101$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7681/files/Bittel.Amy.2017.pdf 000007681 905__ $$a/rest/prod/2b/88/qc/75/2b88qc75n 000007681 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7681$$pstudent-work 000007681 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
