This chapter summarizes the properties of fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots), and their relationship to performance in biological assays. The properties of quantum dots (optical, structural, compositional, etc.) are described. Recent work employing these entities in biological studies (immunofluorescent labeling, imaging, microscopy in vivo applications, encoding) is discussed.
本章总结了荧光半导体纳米晶体(量子点)的特性,以及它们与生物检测性能之间的关系。描述了量子点的特性(光学、结构、组成等)。讨论了最近在生物学研究中使用这些物质的工作(免疫荧光标记、成像、体内显微镜应用、编码)。
