NR, not reported.

a

Product of extinction coefficient and quantum yield.

b

Determined by the green-to-cyan fluorescence ratio after photoactivation divided by the green-to-cyan fluorescence ratio before photoactivation.

c

Determined by the red-to-green fluorescence ratio after photoactivation divided by the red-to-green fluorescence ratio before photoactivation.

d

Determined by ratio of the maximum signal divided by the residual off-state fluorescence.
