text: Many new monomeric versions of EosFP have been developed that offer advantages over wild type EosFP. Developed by a team at the Janelia Farm Research Campus at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, mEos4 has higher photostability and longer imaging abilities than EosFP.  It is also highly resistant to chemical fixatives such as PFA, gluteraldehyde and OsO4 which are used to preserve samples. mEos4 is effective at higher temperatures than EosFP, phot-converts at an increased rate and has a higher emission amplitude in both green and red fluorescent states.  Applications for the mEos4 protein include photoactivation localization microscopy (PALM), correlative light/ electron microscopy (CLEM), protein activity indication and activity integration (post-hoc imaging for protein activity over time).
