What are some examples of nanomaterials used in imaging?
Several nanomaterials have revolutionized imaging techniques. Quantum dots, for example, are semiconductor nanoparticles that exhibit unique optical properties, making them excellent for fluorescence imaging. Gold nanoparticles are used in techniques like Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) due to their strong plasmon resonance. Carbon nanotubes and nanodiamonds are also employed for their unique structural and optical properties.
