    By halogenation of methylfluorescein-diacetate (MFDA) or eosin-diacetate, two new dyes for cellular thiol compatible with visible laser excitation have become available. These probes circumvent the use of an ultraviolet (UV)-excitation system as required by bimane-based dyes and allow combination with
