title: A bioprobe based on aggregation induced emission (AIE) for cell membrane tracking.
abstract: A new organic dye (FD-9) derived from 1,8-naphthalimide is synthesized and shows significant aggregation induced emission (AIE) characteristics. The FD-9 dye presents excellent photostability and low toxicity, which can specifically track a cell membrane for 4 days.
