Hyperspectral Imaging of Gold Nanoparticles in Live Blood Cells

摘要

The circulatory system is a vehicle for delivery of functionalised nanoparticles to targeted cells and tissues. The CytoViva Enhanced Darkfield Hyperspectral Microscope from Schaefer Technologie GmbH is a highly effective tool for optically imaging and spectrally characterising nanoparticles while in the bloodstream or in other complex environments. No fluorescent labelling or other sample preparation of the nanoparticles or the biological matrix is required when using this technique.
