Abstract

Dye photobleaching is a photochemical reaction that can be investigated locally using fluorescence microscopy techniques. In this study, a user-friendly computational tool to assist photobleaching experiments called Photobleaching Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (PbLIM) is presented. With this tool it is possible to recover the photobleaching kinetics spatially, where a photobleaching lifetime is generated for each pixel of the image. Our model was applied to the photobleaching process of thionine encapsulated into the one-dimensional nano-channels of Zeolite L (ZL), from where we gained insight into the molecular oxygen distribution inside the ZL channels, as well as the detailed photobleaching of the confined thionine. © The Royal Society of Chemistry and Owner Societies 2016.
