    Abstract: Fluorogenic sensors for a target analyte are provided. The fluorogenic sensors can include a water soluble light harvesting multichromophore and a fluorogenic dye covalently linked to the multichromophore and in energy-receiving proximity therewith. Aspects of the fluorogenic sensors include selective recognition of the target analyte by chemical reaction or by specific binding. In some cases, the linked fluorogenic dye includes a lactone or spiro-lactone group that is configured to chemically react with a target analyte via lactone ring-opening to produce a fluorescent dye configured for excitation by the multichromophore. Also provided are labelled specific binding members that include the subject dyes. Methods of evaluating a sample for the presence of a target analyte and methods of labelling a target molecule in which the subject fluorogenic sensors find use are provided. Systems, devices and kits for practicing the subject methods are provided.

    Abstract: Methods for producing a high resolution image of a sample are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes: detecting first and second sets of spatially-dependent emission signals from a sample labeled with a fluorescent polymeric dye; and producing a high resolution fluorescence image of the sample from the detected first and second sets of spatially-dependent emission signals. In some embodiments, the sample is a cell. Also provided are systems for imaging a sample that include a high resolution light microscope including a light source configured to irradiate a field of view with an excitation light; a photodetector configured to detect an emission signal: and a polarization modulator disposed in the light pathway between the light source and the photodetector; and a sample labelled with a polymeric dye and disposed in the field of view.
