Confocal light absorption and scattering spectroscopic microscopy monitors organelles in live cells with no exogenous labels.

abstract：:Cryptochromes are blue-light receptors mediating various light responses in plants and animals. The photochemical mechanism of cryptochromes is not well understood. It has been proposed that photoactivation of cryptochromes involves the blue-light-dependent photoreduction of flavin adenine dinucleotide via the electro...
