Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical imaging technology continues to revolutionize our ability to visualize and understand biological processes in real time at, enabling us to acquire critical insights into disease mechanisms, diagnostics, and therapeutic monitoring. Many advanced imaging modalities (e.g., super-resolution microscopy, two-photon imaging, photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy) have recently emerged, driven by breakthroughs with regard to powerful molecular probes. However, major challenges remain in terms of improving sensitivity, selectivity, biocompatibility and clinical translation.
The Special Issue will provide a forum for the latest research activities in the field of optical imaging technologies and molecular probes and their applications. We welcome both review articles and original research papers in areas including, but not limited to, the following:
- Small molecular fluorescent probes;
- Nano-fluorescent probes;
- Macromolecular fluorescent probes;
- NIR-I and NIR-II fluorescence imaging;
- Photoacoustic imaging;
- Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy;
- Biomedical imaging applications of probes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Chemosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
