DAF-FM has been used in the visualization of nitric oxide (NO) in root sections of wheat seedlings. It has also been used to label neural crest (NC) cells.[1]

DAF-FM is a highly sensitive, photo-stable fluorescent probe for the detection of nitric oxide (NO).
DAF-FM is a highly sensitive, photo-stable fluorescent probe for the detection of nitric oxide (NO). DAF-2 is the original compound and is widely used, but DAF-FM is more sensitive to nitric oxide (NO) compared with DAF-2. DAF-FM is more photo-stable and less pH sensitive than DAF-2. DAF-FM is not quite as cell-permeable as the diacetate derivative, DAF-FM, but it does not need to be activated by cytosolic enzymes.
Preparation Note
Color variation within the range from white to brown does not change performance.

Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are being formulated for cellular imaging and for nonviral gene delivery in the central nervous system (CNS), but it is unclear what potential effects SiNPs can elicit once they enter the CNS. As the resident macrophages of
Local manipulation of complex tissues at the single-cell level is challenging and requires excellent sealing between the specimen and the micromanipulation device.
