Bodipy probes are commonly used fluorophores. They are considered potential functional fluorescent probes because of its relatively high photo stability, neutral total charge, high fluorescence quantum yield, and sharp absorption and emission spectra, dye molecules suitable for membrane permeable probes.
BODIPY dyes are used as photosensitive media in many different biotechnological fields. Among the most used applications are organic lasers, biomedicine (probes and sensors for cancer diagnosis through bioimaging and photosensitizers), photovoltaics (semiconductor photosensitizers).
