title: Imaging the static dielectric constant in vitro and in living cells by a bioconjugable GFP chromophore analog.
abstract: A fluorescent probe structurally similar to the GFP chromophore is demonstrated to report the local static dielectric constant. This probe can be chemically functionalized for selective targeting at the intracellular level.
