This work presents measurements of time-resolved fluorescence microscopy of hematoporphyrin-derivative (HpD) in single cells of mice tissue (both tumor and normal cells), in HeLa Cells, and in solution. The measurements were performed using a pulsed-laser microfluorometer with high spatial and temporal resolution. In agreement with the results obtained with other techniques, it has been found that the tumor cells examined present an HpD uptake about five times higher than that of the normal cells of the corresponding tissue and that, within a cell, HpD become localized mainly in the cytoplasm. It has also been found that the fluorescence decay time is different in cells as compared with solution, and that the presence of HpD stabilizes cell auto-fluorescence. These results are discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007834	Lasers	An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.

D008856	Microscopy, Fluorescence	Microscopy of specimens stained with fluorescent dye (usually fluorescein isothiocyanate) or of naturally fluorescent materials, which emit light when exposed to ultraviolet or blue light. Immunofluorescence microscopy utilizes antibodies that are labeled with fluorescent dye.

D006415	Hematoporphyrins	Iron-free derivatives of heme with 4 methyl groups, 2 hydroxyethyl groups and 2 propionic acid groups attached to the pyrrole rings. Some of these PHOTOSENSITIZING AGENTS are used in the PHOTOTHERAPY of malignant NEOPLASMS.	Haematoporphyrin IX,Hematoporphyrin,Hemedonin
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
