Masked Rhodamine Dyes of Five Principal Colors Revealed by Photolysis of a 2-Diazo-1-Indanone Caging Group: Synthesis, Photophysics, and Light Microscopy Applications.

Invited for the cover of this issue are Prof. Stefan W. Hell, Dr. Vladimir N. Belov, and co-workers at Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (Göttingen, Germany), University of Buenos-Aires (Argentina), and Chemistry Department of St. Petersburg State University (Russia). The image (including artwork by Vladimir Belov and Hartmut Sebesse, MPIbpc, Göttingen) depicts the light-induced transformations that occur in nature and in Rhodamines NN masked fluorescent dyes.
