We designed and prepared the imidazoline‐2‐thione containing OCl − probes, PIS and NIS , which operate through specific reactions with OCl − that yield corresponding fluorescent imidazolium ions. Importantly, we demonstrated that PIS can be employed to image OCl − generation in macrophages in a co‐culture system. We have also employed two‐photon microscopy and PIS to image OCl − in live cells and tissues, indicating that this probe could have wide biological applications.
