A superior bright NIR luminescent nanoparticle preparation and indicating calcium signaling detection in cells and small animals

Abstract Background Near-field fluorescence (NFF) effects were employed to develop a novel near-infrared (NIR) luminescent nanoparticle (LNP) with superior brightness. The LNP is used as imaging contrast agent for cellular and small animal imaging and furthermore suggested to use for detecting volta...
