Organelle-selective energy transfer: a fluorescent indicator of intracellular environment.

ABSTRACT: A dye cassette fluoresces green (ca 520 nm) in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and lysosomes, but red in mitochondria, that is, it illustrates 'organelle specific energy transfer'. This phenomenon may open new horizons in intracellular imaging.
