Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, fluorescence imaging technology has undergone a remarkable transformation, with the introduction of cutting-edge techniques such as confocal, two-photon fluorescence, and super-resolution fluorescence imaging. These advancements have elevated fluorescence imaging to pivotal status in life science research, enabling real-time visualization and meticulous quantification of dynamic events within living cells at the molecular level. Fluorescence imaging technology relies on small molecule fluorescent probes due to their small size, ease of chemical modification, excellent reproducibility, and biocompatibility. Hence, fluorescent probes based on different fluorophores, such as rhodamine, fluorescein, BODIPY, anthocyanins, coumarin, and naphthylamide, have been developed and successfully applied in ion detection, enzyme analysis, and cell imaging. These continuous advancements not only facilitate the evolution of smart fluorescent probes but also inspire the development of inventive tools for scientific research and practical applications.
This Special Issue will therefore focus on original research and review articles covering recent advances in small organic fluorescent probes used in living cells and their bioimaging.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
