Description
Summary:Invited for this month's cover are the collaborating groups of Dr. Thomas Just Sørensen at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark and Dr. Robert Pal at Durham University, United Kingdom. The front cover shows the clouds parting for a cell imaged using a thioxanthone‐appended EuIII complex. This work shows that lanthanide luminescence can be used in optical bioimaging with microscopes equipped with the common blue laser line. Read the full text of the article at 10.1002/cplu.201900309. “The possibility of lanthanide‐based probes being used as standard tools in optical bioimaging is very exciting. The extreme sensitivity enabled by lanthanide luminescence has been realized in assays, and if that could be transferred to bioimaging then single‐molecule tracking in cellular systems and in vivo biomarker detection could be possible.” Read more about the story behind the cover in the Cover Profile and about the research itself (DOI: 10.1002/cplu.201900309).
