(a) Structures of the 3,5-bis-styryl (MeOPh)₂BODIPY dye 66, the non-styryl meso-(4-methoxycarbonylphenyl)BODIPY analogue 67, crystal violet (68), curcuminBF₂ (69) and Cy3 (70) investigated by Frenette et al. (36). (b) PAI (dimension = 26.40 mm × 6.65 mm) of the same dyes recorded with a 10 MHz US transducer following 532 nm laser irradiation at a fluence of 366 mJ cm⁻². Samples are dissolved in acetonitrile in sealed glass capillary tubes (1 mm internal diameter) housed in a room temperature water bath. The color scale represents the normalized acoustic intensity.
