BIOTAGS: Quantum Dots Label Living Mice.

From: Biomolecular Diagnostics News | Date: June 1, 2003 | Copyright information

Tiny capillaries, viewed beneath a mouse's skin with a newly developed application of multi-photon microscopy, appear so bright and vivid in high-resolution images that researchers can see the vessel walls ripple with each heart beat-640 times a minute. The capillaries are illuminated using fluorescence imaging labels, molecule-size nanocrystals called quantum dots, which can circulate through the bloodstream.
