主 题:upconverting nanoparticles deep tissue bioimaging lanthanide-doped NPs fluorescent materials rare earths
摘 要:Optical imaging plays an important role in biomedical research being extremely useful for early detection, screening and image-guided therapy. Lanthanide-doped up-converting nanoparticles were ideally suited for bioimaging because they could be ex- cited in near infrared (NIR) and emit in NIR or visible (VIS). Here, we compared lanthanide doped up-converting NaYF4 and organic fluorophores for application in deep-tissue imaging. For that purpose - tissue phantoms mimicking the natural properties of light scat- tering by living tissues were prepared. The studies allowed to quantitatively compare optical resolution of different fluorescent com- pounds, revealing that the NIR photoexcitation was favorable over conventional UV photoexcitation.
