Metal ions are widely distributed in living organisms and environmental systems, therefore, their monitoring is of great importance.
These days, several sophisticated instrumental methods are being used for the detection of metal ions; however, rapid recognition of metal ions requires powerful tools namely, colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensors.
In this review, Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 6G based colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensors have been discussed.
These methods are simple, involve low cost, lower detection limit, high selectivity, and sensitivity, thereby used to monitor real-time metal ions.
Several metal ions were detected with high selectivity and sensitivity with the aid of various derivatives of Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 6G fluorophores conjugated to different ligands.
Besides that, this review is focused on the detection of Cu2+ metal ions in recent years.
Histology, cytology and other related scientific disciplines study the microscopic anatomy of tissues and cells.
In order to achieve a good tissue and cellular structure, the samples need to be stained in a correct manner.
Rhodamine B powder dye is used in various staining methods in microscopy.
Rhodamine B is used in clinical microbiology and histology for detecting tuberculosis Mycobacteria and other acid-fast bacteria.
Staining using Rhodamine B is a fluorescent method of visualizing acid-fast bacteria.
Mycobacteria are difficult to stain due to the high amount of lipids and wax in their cellular membranes.
When stained using Rhodamine B dye, acid-fast mycobacteria retain the dye even when exposed to strong destaining solutions, such as HCl-ethanol.

Marking mosquitoes is vital for mark-release-recapture and many laboratory studies, but their small size precludes the use of methods that are available for larger animals such as unique identifier tags and radio devices.
Fluorescent dust is the most commonly used method to distinguish released individuals from the wild population.
Numerous colours and combinations can be used, however, dust sometimes affects longevity and behaviour so alternatives that do not have these effects would contribute substantially.
Rhodamine B has previously been demonstrated to be useful for marking adult Aedes aegypti males when added to the sugar meal.
Unlike dust, Rhodamine B also marked the seminal fluid making Rhodamine B possible to detect matings by marked males in the spermatheca of females.
Here, marking of Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto with rhodamine B and uranine was performed to estimate their potential contribution.
Methods of Rhodamine B
Two fluorescent markers, rhodamine B and uranine, were dissolved in sugar water and fed to adult An. gambiae.
Concentrations that are useful for marking individuals and seminal fluid were determined.
The effects on adult longevity, the durability of the marking and detection of the marker in mated females was determined.
Male mating competitiveness was also evaluated.
Results
Rhodamine B marking in adults is detectable for at least 3 weeks, however uranine marking declines with time and at low doses can be confused with auto-fluorescence.
Both can be used for marking seminal fluid which can be detected in females mated by marked males, but, again, at low concentrations uranine-marking is more easily confused with the natural fluorescence of seminal fluid.
Neither dye affected mating competitiveness.
Conclusions
Both markers tested could be useful for field and laboratory studies.
Their use has substantial potential to contribute to a greater understanding of the bio-ecology of this important malaria vector.
Rhodamine B has the advantage that Rhodamine B appears to be permanent and is less easily confused with auto-fluorescence.
The primary limitation of both methods is that sugar feeding is necessary for marking and adults must be held for at least 2 nights to ensure all individuals are marked whereas dusts provide immediate and thorough marking.
The fluorescence of rhodamine B can be strongly affected by Rhodamine Bs environmental pH value.
By directly introducing the dye into various glycine solution, the fluorescence was used to monitor the pH value in the range of 5.9 ~ 6.7.
Two newly developed techniques for broadband analysis, the barycenter technique and the self-referenced intensity ratio technique, were employed to retrieve the pH sensing functions.
While compared with traditional techniques, e.g. the peak shift monitoring, both the two new techniques presented finer precision.
The obtained sensing functions may find their applications in the test of biochemical samples, body tissue fluid, water quality, etc.
