Rhodamine 123 is a membrane-permeable cationic fluorescent probe that specifically recognizes mitochondrial membrane potentials. It attaches to mitochondria, producing bright fluorescence. At certain concentrations, rhodamine dyes exhibit low toxicity to cells, making them commonly used for detecting mitochondria in animal cells, plant cells, and microorganisms.
