Dual-mode bioimaging with fluorescent nanoparticles
Published in ACS Nano, researchers from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden) have described engineered nanoparticles that combine X-ray and optical fluorescence properties. The nanoparticles – which are coated in silica and have a fluorophore conjugated to their silica coatings – could represent effective macro and microscopic imaging tools.
