Other lists with information about fluorochrome characteristics include: a fluorochrome table at the Salk Institute Flow Cytometry lab and the spectral characteristics plots available from Molecular Probes about their dyes. See also the extensive fluorochrome lists available from Carl Zeiss, Inc and at the Olympus Microscopy Resource Center. A short PDF list of fluorescent dyes and their multi-photon characteristics is available from the University of Georgia's Center for Ultrastructural Research (
