| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed a phosphorescent probe and a phosphorescence lifetime imaging microscopy to clarify an oxygen level into a blood vessel and a tissue in retina of small animals. The synthesized phosphorescence probe (DTTPH-PEG24) based on iridium complex showed the near infrared emission. The phosphorescence lifetimes of DTTPH-PEG24 which was administered to the rabbit were dependent on the oxygen partial pressure. These results that our system can visualize an oxygenation of retina of small animals.
