Happy 20th January to everyone!

We are involved in a study examining the efficacy of laser photo-coagulation of the retina in a rat study. We would like to be able to pinpoint in histological sections sites of laser burn (morphological changes aren't that clear cut). One thought is to introduce a photo-activated compound into the retina which would form a stable reaction product (i.e. stable enough to survive storage and tissue processing). Anyone have any ideas? Some possibilities would be (i) a product that might form an insoluble precipitate or (ii) form an adduct with cell components.
