摘要

For the non-invasive visualization of cell migration in deep tissues, we synthesized a short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) emitting multimodal probe that contains PbS/CdS quantum dots, rhodamine 6G and iron oxide nanoparticles. This probe enablesmultimodal (SWIR fluorescence/magnetic resonance) imaging of phagocyte cell migration in living mice.
