“…Additionally, they are applied as staining agents in bacteriological and histopathological methods [3]. The photocytotoxicity of triarylmethane dyes based on the reactive oxygen species production is tested intensively with the regard of their phototherapeutic potential (photodynamic therapy) [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Additionally, the triarylmethane dyes represent significant and widely utilized components of inks applied in archival documents of 19th and 20th centuries (stamps, signatures), but they are characterized by relatively low photostability [1,2,13].…”
