What Are the Common Types of Nanoparticles Used in Bio Imaging?
Several types of nanoparticles are commonly used in bio imaging, including:
- Gold nanoparticles: Known for their unique optical properties and biocompatibility. - Magnetic nanoparticles: Used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to enhance contrast. - Silica nanoparticles: Often used for their stability and ease of functionalization. - Carbon nanotubes: Utilized for their strong fluorescence and ability to penetrate cells.
