Boosting the down-shifting luminescence of rare-earth nanocrystals for biological imaging beyond 1500 nm

Fluorescence imaging in the near-infrared window between 1500–1700 nm (NIR-IIb window) offers superior spatial resolution and tissue penetration depth, but few NIR-IIb probes exist. Here, the authors synthesize rare earth down-converting nanocrystals as promising fluorescent probes for in vivo imagi...

Sumario:Fluorescence imaging in the near-infrared window between 1500–1700 nm (NIR-IIb window) offers superior spatial resolution and tissue penetration depth, but few NIR-IIb probes exist. Here, the authors synthesize rare earth down-converting nanocrystals as promising fluorescent probes for in vivo imaging in this spectral region.
